Tibetan Uprising 2008 New York City Part 4 Kalaya'an Mendoza Freedom Torch

On March 10, 2008, the Tibetan Freedom Movement launched its global Tibetan People's Uprising. In New York City, thousands of Tibetans and Tibet supporters gathered at City Hall early in the morning and then marched to the United Nations. Tibetans inside and outside Tibet began a series of nonviolent direct actions including a return march to Tibet. The Chinese military has since cracked down on the Tibetan people and more than 200 Tibetans have been killed inside Tibet. The Chinese Military, after closing the borders of the region to tourists and Western media, has also "rounded up" more than 5000 Tibetans and has begun sentencing peaceful demonstrators to prison terms between 3 years and life. The Chinese Military continues to beat, torture and kill Tibetan prisoners with batons and electric cattle prods. The Tibetan People demand the Chinese Government allow H.H. the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, to return to his homeland Tibet. Demonstrators ask for the release of thousands of political prisoners, and for China to stop its Colonial rule and population transfer, which is wiping out what remains of Tibetan culture inside the country. The Tibetan People have also called for a boycott of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics and request the International Olympic Committee stop the Olympic Torch relay route through Lhasa, Tibet. Until Tibet is free and the Chinese government puts a stop to its human rights abuses, China does not deserve to host the Beijing 2008 Olympics. One world—one dream—Free Tibet now.

Exercise your conscience. Stand for truth. Boycott the Genocide Olympics. Send a message to the rogue bullies in Beijing.

For more information: Read the book BUYING THE DRAGON'S TEETH - a detailed account of China's myriad human rights abuses against its own people and its repression in Tibet. This is not CNN's or FOX's version of the truth, but a series of thoroughly documented accounts which may make us think twice before buying products "Made in China."
