FREE TIBET

Let me be more precise than the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH), this person in the picture is not "a Tibetan monk and riot police", but this is Wangchen a long time family friend and the rest are the Mossos d'Esquadra (catalan policeman) at ,as the SMH states, a rally in Barcelona last week.

I've been at the casa del tibet (house of tibet) in Barcelona a few times, ive been with tibetan monks in dhramsala, India and its hard to believe how people so calm as Tibetan's are being submitted to such a cultural oppression. I've seen the DalaiLama and I have heard two of his conferences. I dont think ive ever heard such wise words and logical spiritual sense from anybody than from him. Chinese persons spy on the house of tibet in Barcelona often to know what is going on. And in fact nothing on goes on there but the difussion of the Tibetan culture. Is that a crime?

Its good to take the opportunity of the olympic games to make more sound for the cause of Tibetan Freedom. However, is this a reason to boycott the olympic games? Is there a relationship with the 17 year old girl that has spend the past 11 years of her life training to beat a world record or get a golden medal with the life of a tibetan monk that has been supressed of its freedom and culture since 1949? I dont know, I dont want to destroy the dreams of the girl, but I dont want to accept cultural suppression either. The tibetans have accepted to be part of China, they dont even ask for independance but for autonomy. Are representatives of world countries trully going to go to the opening of the games? That will be shamefull. How can we accept that China has human rights with the country exploiting all its workers, and banning all connections with the exterior? I remember in Beijing seeing all the embassies with double electrical fences so that nobody would jump into them and ask for assilium. That represents freedom?

Shouldnt the international olympic comitee have a look at the levels of human rights in a country before giving them the opportunity to host some Olympic games? Its been long since I have thought that China should not deserve to be hosting the Olympic games.

I hope you get to hear the DalaiLama one day or other.
