… I read a political book about the situation in Tibet. That was the year my son was born.
I felt very moved by the suffering the Tibetan people had to go through as a result of the Chinese suppression.
I felt very miserable reading testimonials about the Genocide with all it’s facets: torture to death, forced abortion of unborn life…
As a result I joined a local human rights movement group and actively contributed propagating the truth about the Tibetan misery.
We had big hopes back then, that by 2000 the situation would have improved and a solution would have been in sight.

Nothing the like happened. We now write the year 2009, 50 years after the abolition of the freedom demonstrations on March, 10.
China is already in phase of the end game, convinced that they will finally succeed with it’s strategy of sheer power and oppression.
It’s as simple as that: there is no need for that! China and the world would profit most from a peaceful and mutual solution.
There are plenty of good articles about that on the web. Make up your mind.
