NEW WAYS TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR TIBET

With the recent publication of shocking and brutal video evidence of Chinese torture, the world is once more paying attention to the situation in Tibet. Furthering the fresh attention, 28-year-old Tibetan monk Tashi Sangpo made the news when jumping into the Machu River, shortly after being accused by the Chinese of secreting a Tibetan national flag and suspect documents.

A single day later, farmers in the Karze region of Tibet went on strike. The result being the Chinese government issued warnings that those families who strike risk being arrested and having their land impounded. The forced suicide of Tashi Sangpo also sparked new activity in Gyala, where the police station was attacked. This has led to circa 95 monks surrendering or being arrested.

With the rising attention to Tibet, comes a new way that supporters can peacefully demonstrate their support for Tibetan harmony. The following link will take you to a recent development issued from Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in which he calls for 'Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, human rights leaders and concerned individuals' to express their concern and pledge their support to the Dalai Lama in his quest for a peaceful solution.
