Songs for Tibet - Art of Peace Foundation "Freedom is Expression"

www.ArtofPeaceFoundation.org. As a show of solidarity with the Dalai Lama and Tibet, 20 artists have come together to release this historic double album on the eve of the Beijing Olympics. These recordings - some original for the project and some acoustically driven recordings of previously released songs - express our common vulnerabilities and experiences in pursuing happiness, peace and freedom. Collectively, these tracks represent a heartfelt message of support for the path of compassion and non-violence championed by the Dalai Lama. Begun in May of 2008 and completed in two months, the outpouring of support from all corners of the world was unparalleled. Funds raised from the album by the Foundation will go to support peace initiatives and Tibetan cultural preservation projects important to the Dalai Lama.

As the start of the Bejing Olympics nears, we applaud the athletes and the people of China in their accomplishment.

Unfortunately promises made by the Chinese Government to the I.O.C. have been broken over and over, including China's promise to remove the "Great Firewall of China" which blocks access to the internet and information.

Journalists who are reporting on the Olympics are still being blocked and hindered as of today.

Beautiful video... Made me cry. I hope that one day all those suffering around the world will get their freedom of expression. Whether it is in Tibet, or Iraq, or wherever people are being oppressed... We're all humans, and this is our right! God bless.

@HumanRightsVideosT Their love for cheap oil had more to do with iraq than it does afghanistan. Afghanistan is all about the taliban, a formerly US funded terrorist organization to fight the Soviets. And the US support of israel is the reason they cant get cheap oil anymore. Speaking of israel, suporting a group that basically evicted palestinians off their land because of outdated land claims sounds like human rights violations

@ RedOctober1922

Its a little more complicated that that. The US is in love with cheap Oil.

US troops in Saudi Arabia and US support of Israel are major issues for some people.

[RedOctober1922]

@HumanRightsVideosT ok and now the US is just moving those troops into afghanistan. And the whole reason there is a terrorist problem in the middle east is because of United States hatred for communism during the cold war and the soviet occupation of afghanistan.

The US is getting out of Iraq, but China isn't getting out of Tibet.

Tibet has been looted for many decades.

@HumanRightsVideosT i didnt say china isnt to blame, i was saying the united states has had its share of human rights violations. I may be so bold to argue that the united states has violated more civil rights than china, not to its own people, but the people of countries it has affected

@ RedOctober1922

How about the suppression of

Uyghurs

Mongolians living in South Mongolia

Falun Gong

Chinese dissidents

Migrant Chinese workers working in appalling conditions in factories

and the poverty of Rural Chinese ?

[RedOctober1922]

i love how everyone gets on china's case about suppressing the dalai lama and the tibetan monks, but people are so easy to forget the suppression of millions of native americans committed by the united states government, or the internment of thousands of japanese, italians, germans, and later cubans

@HumanRightsVideosT: The self styled "People's Republic of China," actually just a gang of murderers who took Russian money to take over China, might collapse; but the damage has been done. Tibetans are a minority driven to the margins of Tibet. Even the Dalai Lama now only pleads for a real autonimous region in the isolated hinterlands of Tibet. What The PRC did to Tibet is almost genocidal in scale.

No empire lasts forever. Tibet will be free.
