Worldwide Vigil Day Calls Fact-finding Delegations To Tibet

The Tibet Post International
Delhi, India: - Thousands of Tibetans and supporters gathered at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, the capital of India on February 8, to
"highlights the critical situation of the Tibetan people inside Tibet and to express their solidarity to those who have sacrificed their lives
an act of protest against the oppressive Chinese regime."
These mass demonstrations come after carryout twenty Tibetan self-immolation protests in Tibet and armed Chinese forces opened fire
on Tibetans in Drakgo, Serta and Zomthang county of eastern Tibet, reportedly leaving at-least ten lives and over three hundred
wounded. More than hundred Tibetan youths from Delhi also have tried to storm the Chinese embassy in the Indian capital to pay
solidarity with Tbetans who have sacrificed for Tibet.
"Despite Communist Government of PRC's claim of having created a paradise on earth in Tibet in the last 52 years, the growing
frustration of Tibetans against the Chinese policies," stated in a statement of the Delhi Tibetan Solidarity Movement.
"With the self-immolations of Tapey in 2009, and beginning with the self immolations of Lobsang Phuntsok on 16th March 2011, 20
Tibetans have self immolated so far I Tibet, out of which, 13 have succumbed to their injuries. The status of 7 others is still unknown.
The last 7 cases have been reported in January and February this year alone. Two Tibetans in exile also attempted self-immolation in
India and Nepal," said a letter of the solidarity movement to Dr. Manmohan Singh, the prime minister of India.
"Thousands of other Tibetans in Golog, Ngaba and Gyarong have peacefully demonstrated in the last few days. There may be many other
unreported cases. Communications to all these areas have been cut off. Security in all of Tibet has been stepped up and massive military
reinforcement has been reported that has resulted in heightened tension between Tibetans ad Chinese authorities," the solidarity
movement said.
"China's assimilation policy coupled with mass migration of Han Chinese into Tibet in the past 52 years has turned the Tibetans into a
minority community in their own homeland," it said.
"China's single window policy of development as the one and only means to resolve conflicts with no respect for local sentiments has not
only contributed to flooding Tibet with Han Chinese, but has let to unscrupulous extraction of Tibet's mineral resources thereby affecting
Tibet's ecology," it stated.
"Control of Buddhist learning in the monastic institutions by strick and irrelevant laws prohibits religious freedom," it continued.
"Independent media, diplomats and even tourists have bared from visiting all areas where recent incidents occurred. All pleas to allow
independent fact-finding delegations have been denied. Communication tolls have barred, and that forbids free flow of evidence from
inside Tibet of the actual happened," the statement further said.
"Even since the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959, China has turned the traditional Tibetan provinces into a real hell by killing and
torturing Tibetans mercilessly to eliminate the root of our language and culture identity," said Tenzin Kunzhang, a 34 Tibetan man, who
was participating the event.
Tibetans in exile on Wednesday again appealed to international community, UN and governments to call on China to review its existing
policies on the Tibetans in order to have truly harmonious society, genuinely uphold international Human Rights standards and norms.
They also called on China to allow independent fact-finding delegations and members of media visit the effected areas and to seek
complete withdraw if Chinese military from Tibetan monasteries.

Here's the "logic": if you are truly concerned about Tibet, you should
go there and see for yourself. What's that? You want to go on a fact
finding mission to Tibet? Sorry, you are not allowed to go.
Hmmmm...

Fact is Tibetans can even get severe sentences for smuggling out photo's or video material.
When things occur inside police is immediately checking if there are people making film or photo's.
