Why are the Tibetans protesting? And what you can do to help.
Over 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed by the Chinese government.
6000 monasteries were destroyed. And the tortures, killings and human rights violations continue.
t's time to help the Tibetan people have a voice. For over 50 years they have been subjected to murder, tortures, oppression, the occupation of their land and the gradual and systematic destruction of their culture. In the past years Tibetans have tried peaceful protests in an attempt to show the world that there is a dire need for help.
Paldon Gyatso was incarcerated in Chinese prisons and labor camps in Tibet for 33 years. Below are some of the torture instruments used on him
One of the requests of the current protests is the release of the monk who can spend years in prison simply for uttering the name of the Dalai Lama and for political prisoners whose only crime is a plea for human rights. There is overwhelming evidence that torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment are a routine part of detention in police stations, detention centres, labour camps and prisons in Tibet. First-hand reports from released prisoners describe the use of electric batons applied to the torso, mouth, soles of feet and genitals; the use of lighted cigarettes to inflict burns; the use of truncheons or rifle butts for beatings; the use of dogs to bite detainees; and the use of manacles and chains to restrain prisoners for long periods. Because of that, most political prisoners perish before they are ever released.
All the Tibetan people need now is your participation and hope that people would defend a country that has no oil, no political influence and no weapons to offer. Their contribution is much deeper. What they offer is compassion, peace and lessons on how the world can be fixed.
