The Brutal Nazi CCP invaded Tibet in 1949.

6,000 monasteries, nunneries, temples,_ and their contents were destroyed.

1.2 million Tibetans died as a result of China's policies.

All people including Chinese and Tibetans deserve the basic

human rights to preserve their cultures, express their political

views, and freely practice their religious beliefs.

I pray_ this happens in Tibet and China soon.

TIBET WILL

BE FREE AGAIN!

• His Holiness The Dalai Lamais concerned about the freedom, peace and happiness of the six million Tibetan people.

• His Holinessis concerned about the future of the most precious, profound culture in the world, which preserves the entire teaching of the Buddha: the Lesser Vehicle, and the Great Vehicle, Sutra and Secret Mantra.

• Even though some evil beings criticize His Holiness The Dalai Lama, unlike common people and even other religious leaders, He only benefits them in return.

Although he is the single biggest hate figure for the Chinese regime as a "splittist", the Dalai Lama has a sense of optimism about China and a sense of humour about his struggles. He chuckles at the memory of China calling him a demon: "I really feel laugh". And he holds two fingers to his forehead, chortling: "This demon, you see, horn."

THE Dalai Lama, after a lifetime of struggles against China's government, sees hopeful signs of change in the world's biggest dictatorship.

The spiritual leader of the Tibetan Buddhists says he hears more voices for freedom in China and its repressiveness "cannot last forever". He even sees encouraging signs for the future of China's policy in Tibet, the homeland he fled as a youth in the face of the Chinese takeover.

The communist party doesn't just kill Tibetans. Falun Gong are probably getting treated the worst since the Persecution of FG began in 1999.

Killings were very common during the Cultural Revolution, but in Tibet killings and starvation started BEFORE the Cultural Revolution.

Killing scares people and helps keep the communist party in power.

Tibet was feudal in the 1940s, and the clothing was medieval at least for some of the poorer Tibetans, but Tibetans were spiritually very strong and sorted many things out that some countries still don't have sorted out.

Tibetans got rid of the death penalty in 1913, unlike the US and China (and a bunch of other countries) in 2011.

Sure the CCP built a railroad, but if the CCP wasn't making heaps of money by taking Tibet's resources it wouldn't bother spending anything.

The communists created STARVATION in Tibet.

More than 1 million Tibetans have been MURDERED or STARVED to DEATH since the INVASION of the independent COUNTRY of Tibet by the communist party began 1949-50.

Tibetan culture is being wiped out.

Tibetans are being reduced to poverty because of the SUBSIDIZED Chinese migrants continuing to flood into Tibet

Please learn more about Tibet and don't believe the LIES and PROPAGANDA that are circulated by the communist party.

If you want to know what is really happening in Tibet please watch the best Tibet human rights video I have seen so far which

@HumanRightsVideosT China on Tuesday took over the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council for the month of March. Li Baodong, the Chinese permanent representative to the United Nations, took over the rotating Council presidency from Brazilian UN Ambassador Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, who held the presidency of the Security Council for February.

@HumanRightsVideosT Li is expected to brief reporters on the work program of the 15-nation UN body on Wednesday.

The Security Council presidency rotates among the Council members in the English alphabetical order of their names. Each president holds office for one calendar month.
