Free Tibet

Tibet, an independent nation with a history dating back to 127 BC, was invaded 45 years ago, in 1950, by the Chinese People's Republic.
The invasion and occupation of Tibet has been an act of aggression and a clear violation of international law. Today Tibet is oppressed by a Chinese occupation, illegal and repressive.
The Dalai Lama, head of state and spiritual leader of Tibet, a firm apostle of non-violence, has tried for eight years to coexist peacefully with the Chinese, but the systematic conquest of the territory of Tibet and its people to be part of China has caused repeated acts of repression. On 10 March 1959, the Tibetan resistance culminated in a national uprising against the Chinese. The Liberation Army (sic!) Chinese has crushed the uprising, killing on that date more than 87,000 Tibetans in Tibet only Central.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, members of his government and about 80,000 Tibetans fled from Tibet and sought political asylum in India, Nepal and Bhutan.
Today there are more than 120,000 Tibetans in exile, including more than 5,000 who live outside the Indian subcontinent.
To escape persecution Chinese from Tibet continue to get many Tibetan refugees.
The United Nations has adopted three resolutions on Tibet in 1959, 1961 in 1965, which have expressed serious concern about the violation of human rights and have called for "the cessation of practices which deprive the Tibetan people of their fundamental human rights and freedom, including their right to self-determination ".
FACTS AND FIGURES FROM THE SITUATION IN TIBET
1. One million two hundred thousand Tibetans (one fifth of the population) have died as a result of Chinese.

2. Thousands of religious and political prisoners are detained in prisons and labor camps, where torture is common practice.

3. The Tibetan women are subjected to forced sterilization and abortions procured. . Tibet, once peaceful buffer state between India and China, has been transformed into a vast military base, which is home to no less than 500,000 Chinese soldiers, and a quarter of Chinese nuclear missile force, in total assessed 550 nuclear warheads.

Now that you have read this brief summary if you have a minimum sensitivity and humanity makes a small effort in some way help this stock could riappropriare of their human rights, with a simple gesture, perhaps appendendo the flag of this country sacred to your window. If we all understand our disapproval, the powers will help us to give an end to this horrible persecution.


I think that is a country that all of us citizens of this world we must defend, because unlike all of us know peace and respect for life and the world.
Do not forget that the Tibetan people are a pacifist
Do not forget that for years the Tibetans suffer torture
Do not forget that true civilization we reached with human rights
Do not forget that we are in 2008 and there is still this gratuitous violence
