Kalon Tripa to be known as Sechieong from today

As known, Chinese officials and Tibetans in exile have been engaged in talks to resolve issue of Tibet for last some time and both sides have conducted nine rounds of talks ending into no results, distrust and limitations due to policies being adopted by both sides.

Today, Tibetan parliament in exile amended Tibetan charter and decided that Tibetetan government in exile would not have Kalon Tripa anymore. Instead, Tibetan government in exile would be headed by Secheong that means political leader.

Discussing the possible impact of proposed amendment some of the members said removing word Kalon Tripa would mean moving away from the sentiments of Tibetan people as they have elected and voted for Kalon Tripa that means Prime Minister in Tibetan language.

However, members of Khashag were successful in convincing the members of exile parliament that change in charter would not have any impact as secheong would perform same duties as performed by Kalon Tripa.

Students for free Tibet to enhance pressure on International community to intervene on Tibet.

As known, Tibet has been witnessing heavy deployment of security forces to strengthen Chinese control on Tibet and this heavy security deployment has resulted into wide spread security crack downs on innocent Tibetans inside Tibet and also resulting into unfortunate wave self -immolations inside Tibet making situation inside Tibet very critical.

Tibetan community in exile has taken various steps not only to express solidarity with Tibetans inside Tibet. But, also to, highlight Chinese illegal control and highhandedness inside Tibet. Tibetan parliament in exile has started a flame of truth campaign on international level to highlight Chinese highhandedness inside Tibet. Tibetan Youth Congress has started indefinite hunger strike to make international community aware about the ongoing wave of self- immolations inside Tibet.

Basically, Tibetan community in exile has been trying to push international community to intervene on the issue of Tibet.

Students for free Tibet feel that it is moral and natural responsibility of international community to come in solidarity with Tibetans. Students For Free Tibet also told that the organization has successfully formed a Tibet support and contact group that comprises of parliament members from various countries including US congressional members.

Students for Free Tibet have also urged governments of various countries to raise issue of Tibet in their interactions with Chinese officials. SFT sources also told that SFT has also asked Mr. S.M.Krishna, Minister of External Affairs, and Government of India to raise issue of Tibet in his interactions with international dignitaries.

Students for free Tibet feels that recent cases of rumors to create differences between Buddhists and Muslims in India are handy work of some opportunist people who are ignorant about facts stating coexistence of both communities for last many centuries.

Students for Free Tibet also feel that Tibetans engaged in freedom struggle should not get carried away by such incidences and continue to work for Tibetan freedom.

Indefinite Hunger strike of Tibetan Youth Congress continues on 14th day

As known, Tibetan Youth Congress has started indefinite hunger strike in New Delhi and the hunger strike has been getting significant support from Tibetans in exile in general and young exile Tibetans in particular.
“Tibetan Youth Congress has filed three of its most senior members Vice President Dhundup Lahdar, Organizational secretary Penpa Tsering and cultural secretary Jigme Sholpa for this strike and entering of strike into 14th day shows how determined are Tibetan Youth Congress members and leaders for the cause of Tibet” says Tenzin Norsang, Joint Secretary Tibetan Youth Congress .
“The indefinite hunger strike is not only against Chinese repression on Tibetan Culture, Language and Tibetan identity inside Tibet. But, this strike of Tibetan Youth Congress senior members is also to remind international community to stick to its assurances and promises it has made to Tibetan Youth Congress during earlier held hunger strikes this year and last year. Unfortunately, international community has not been able to either pressurize Chinese regime nor it has been able to keep promises that it made to young Tibetans in past” Tenzin Norsang said.

The Sufferings of Tibetan Female Political Prisoners- by - Ghang Lhamo

Ever since Communist China invaded Tibet, Tibet has had a spur of political campaigns, like in other areas in mainland China. During these campaigns, many Tibetans were killed, imprisoned, and tortured by the Chinese government. According to the statistics given by the exiled Tibetan government, 1.2 million Tibetans have died under abnormal conditions. Just within the year of 2008, Tibetans of all three Tibetan regions have launched waves of protests. These protests have culminated into one of the largest protest campaigns recorded in history. This protest movement is referred by Tibetans as the protest movement by the youth. The younger generations have become the backbone of the resistance, with women accounting for a considerable portion.These protestors are often captured as political prisoners and incarcerated in what is known in Chinese as “Laogai” camps. The word “Laogai” signifies the labor reform camp system in China. The Laogai system in Tibet is essentially the same as it is in China. Even though the Laogai has changed its name to “People’s internal conflict”, its system is still stricter and more severe than the system that governs common criminals. Now I’ll give a brief account of six female political prisoners in the Laogai camps in Tibet: The first woman’s name was Pachen. She was from Gonjo County, Kham, Tibet. Though she was a nun since childhood, she had to join guerrilla forces fighting against the Chinese military forces due to grim situations at the time. She took part in many desperate battles against the Chinese military forces. She took part in a number of desperate battles, but eventually the guerilla forces were defeated. Bachen and many of her comrades were captured and thrown into prison. Bachen spent 21 long years in prison, and endured much plight while witnessing the dark side of humanity. As a young woman, Pachen’s youth was spent in the prisons and laogai/labor reform camps. As a female Tibetan political prisoner, she tolerated various tortures which the outside have not seen, heard, or could ever imagine experiencing. She was deprived of food and clothing, suffered abuse and beatings by the Chinese Communist government, and thoroughly battered physically and emotionally. However, her harsh realities only made her more resolute. Bachen never gave up hope on the Tibetan land and people, both of which she deeply loved. Bachen later fled to India, and met His Holiness the Dalai Lama. She completed her Buddhist education in the exile community and becomes a respected religious figure. In her later years, she travels around the world to spread about the truth in Tibet, and to advocate for her country’s freedom. She later passed away in the Dharmsala due to illness. The second woman I am going to talk about was called Ama Ade. In 1934, she was born as a child of the Dupeng Tsang family in Kham, Tibet. At that time, Tibet was very politically unstable. And China’s invasion desires were becoming gradually clearer. The Chinese government blatantly destroyed monasteries along with capturing and killed many Buddhist monks and nuns. At that time, people suspected that Ama Ade’s father was killed by Chinese Communist Party officials. After many more tumultuous experiences, Ade worked together with a friend named Pema Gyaltsen to kill Chinese Communist Party officials including the head county official. Due to this incident, she was arrested in her home in the pastoral areas on October 16th, 1958. She was forced to abandon her two children. After her arrest, Ade served a 16 year term in prison in various prisons in Kham, Tibet. During this long torturous experience, she faced extreme starvation, beatings, sexual assaults, forced blood draws, and participated in extreme laborious physical activities. Afterwards, even though she fulfilled her sentence and was supposed/ to be released again, she was accused of the crime of “obstinacy of thoughts”, and sent to further reform herself in labor reform camps. She was stripped of all political rights during this period. Ama Ade, in total, spent a total of 28 difficult years in prison and what is referred to as the “production team”. Afterwards, after a slight loosening in political rule, she was bailed out by friends for a visit to her hometown. Her mother had already passed always, after much mental turmoil. And her son had become mentally ill and later drowned in the river. Her daughter was raised by fellow villagers. The wife of her friend, Pema Gyaltsen, suffered from mental illness and soon passed on. Despite of her sufferings, Ama Ade still kept true to her faith. She was exiled to Nepal in 1987, and met family members there who she has not seen for 29 years. She also met His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and traveled frequently to western countries to spread the truth about Tibet. Now she is spending her later years in Dharmsala. Nima Dolma was born in 1970 in Lhasa. In 1978, she and her mother secretly posted slogans and disseminated many pamphlets against China. They also participated in many of the protests then occurring in Lhasa. On April 18, 1989, a troop of armed police rushed into Dolma’s home, arresting and detaining her mother in prison. The next day, her elder sister and father were detained too. After interrogation, her father was released, but her sister was put into Gondzhe Detention Center. Her father told Dolma, “They will come to arrest you too. Put on more clothes.” Exactly as her father predicted, armed police officers broke into Dolma’s home and carried her away to the military detention center. She was only given one piece of steamed bread per day, and sometimes even nothing for food. One month later, she was sent to Gondzhe Prison. She asked to be imprisoned in the same cell with her mother, but her requeste was rejected. About two months after she was sent to this prison, she fell seriously ill. She asked to be sent to a hospital, but she was sternly refused. Instead, they forced her to clean the cell, because some supervisors were coming for prison inspections. In August 1989, the prison nursing staff and a prison staff came to the cell to draw blood from all political prisoners, including Nima – routinely every prisoner should have his/her blood drawn twice. Nima became weaker and weaker as a result. When her conditions turned critical, she could not fight the effects of fecal incontinence. The prison guards who heard about this immediately came and kicked her on her hips, resulting in renal ptosis. Because of her worsening conditions, she was sent to a nearby hospital where she stayed for two months. During her imprisonment, consecutive disasters struck her family. Her seven-year-old daughter died because of eating a piece of poisonous food. Even with this tragedy, Nima was not allowed to visit her daughter. Under long periods of duress, Nima's sister became mentally abnormal even after she was released from prison. Nima’s younger brother was later stabbed to death by police officers. Her mother, after hearing this news, became seriously mentally ill. Due to their participation into the activities in support of Tibetan independence, Nima’s family was inflicted by death, illness and other disasters. Finally, Nima, her husband, and her mother managed to flee from Tibet and are now living in the Tibetan community in exile. Phuntsok Zomkyi was a Buddhist nun. She was born near Lhasa. After she completed her primary school education, she worked mostly as a farmer. She became a Buddhist nun in 1988. On October 10, 1992 she participated in protests in Barkhor, Lhasa. She was soon arrested and detained at the Fourth Branch of the Gondzhe Prisons. She was locked up with other five nuns, one of whom was sentenced to nine years, another eight years, and the rest of the women, as well as Phuntsok herself, were sentenced to four years. It was later learned that 30 or 40 nuns were arrested together, and sent as a group to this prison. The prisoners were not allowed to go out, so when occasionally there were opportunities for grave-digging, they would fight among themselves, simply hoping to get out for fresh air. After her release, she went back to the Buddhist nunnery. However, under the pressure from the government, the head nun informed the Buddhist nuns that they have been relieved from their positions. Sensing little prospects of her future in Tibet, she fled to India, and is now living in the Tibetan community in exile. Namsey Lhamo, born in Tibet in Garze County, Kham. She was arrested on June 11, 2008 because of her participation in protests in Garze. She was punched and kicked by the police during her interrogation. The police also forced her to stare at red-hot furnaces for long periods of time. Since then, her vision has become severely impaired. After being released, she fled to India. Her elder brother was also arrested. He was sentenced to three, and then seven years because of activities against the Chinese communist government in 2008. Namsey Lhamo is now living in the Tibetan community in exile. Yangchen Lhamo was a Buddhist nun. She was arrested on March 24, 2008 when she took part in a protest in Ganzi County, Kham, Tibet. Due to the ruthless beatings and abuse she suffered in prison, she died in a hospital not close to Chengdu on December 5, 2009.On April 21, 2009, Lhasa’s Intermediate People's Court delivered harsh prison sentences to three young Tibetan women who took part in the protest against Chinese rule in Lhasa on March 14, 2008. They were charged with arson along with “causing death and injury”. The woman from Sakya, Shigatse County was sentenced to death with a two year reprieve; another girl from Lhasa was sentenced to life imprisonment; and a girl by the name of Chime was sentenced to ten years in prison.Due to the severe oppression under the authoritarian rule of the People’s Republic of China, there have been 38 self-immolations by Tibetans from 2001 to 2012. Among the 38 self-immolations, 28 Tibetans have already given up their lives to the cause. Among those that sacrificed that lives, there are five women who I want to focus on today. The first woman was called Tenzin Wangmo. She was from Ngawa, Amdo, Tibet (now Ngawa County, Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province). She was a 20 year old Buddhist nun at the Mami Nunnery (now Sigui Nunnery).On October 17th, 2011 she self-immolated and gave up her life at the site. Afterwards, she was buried by those from her hometown. She was the first woman to self-immolate out of all the Tibetans. The second woman’s name was Palden Chotsoe. She was from Dawu County, Kham, Tibet (now Dawu County, Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province). She was a 35 year old Buddhist nun at the Zakar Ganden Choling Buddhist Nunnery. On October 30th, 2011, she self-immolated and sacrificed her life. Under the strict orders of the local government, people could not immediately make any funeral preparations for her. On November 6th, more than ten thousand people attended an elaborate Buddhist ceremony held for her, and her body was cremated. The third woman’s name was Tenzin Chozom. She was from Ngawa, Amdo, Tibet (now Ngawa County, Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province). She was a 19 year old Buddhist nun at the Mami Nunnery (now Sigui Nunnery).She self-immolated on February 11th, 2012. She suffered severe burns as a result of the self-immolation, and was forcibly escorted away from the site by military police. It was learned later that she died.The fourth woman’s name was Tsering Kyi She was from Maqu County, Amdo, Tibet (now Maqu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province). She was an eighth grader in Tibet Middle School. She was nineteen years old. She self-immolated and sacrificed her life on March 3rd, 2012, in protest of the marginalization of Tibetan language in the Tibetan educational system. Her body was snatched away by the military police at the scene. These military police officers later proclaimed that Tsering Kyi suffered from a mental illness, implying that her “mental deficiency” was the reason for the self-immolation. The fifth woman’s name was Rinchen. She was from Ngawa, Amdo, Tibet (now Ngawa County, Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province). She was mother to four children and worked as a herder. She was 32 years old. She self-immolated and sacrificed her life in front of the local police station, which was next to the famous Kirti Monastery in Tibet. Local Tibetans cremated her body after her death. The above-mentioned five Tibetan women who self-immolated as a form of protest had a range of age: the oldest being 32, and the youngest being nineteen. The GuChuSum Political Prisoners Movement of Tibet now has 600 members. 155 of those members are female political prisoners. And 92 of those female political prisoners are Buddhist nuns. Since the 1950s, Tibetan women have consistently participated in different freedom protest movements of various scale and content. They are women from all walks of life: Buddhist nuns, farmers, vendors, students, housewives, seamstresses, herders, singers, authors, and teachers. Some of them were imprisoned as long as 20 some years, and some were imprisoned a couple of months to a year. Due to long terms of incarceration, they experienced various levels of mental and physical torture. They served their sentences in different prisons, detention centers, and forced labor camps. Many of them served their sentences located in Lhasa, the capital of Tibetan Autonomous Region. These prisons include Drapchi Prison, Guzi Prison, Fourth Prison,Chisong Forced Labor Camp, Samye Prison, Garzê Prefecture Prison of Kham, Xinduqiao Farm, and Chengdu Prison. These female prisoners faced an extreme about of torture and physical abuse in prisons and forced labor camps. Similarly to male prisoners, female prisoners and prisoners at labor reform camps often suffered beatings by prison police with electric rods, wood sticks, and metal rods after being forcibly stripped. They also often had hot water thrown in their faces. They were also often tied up, handcuffed, and thrown into seclusion cells. They were often given meager meals, hung from rafters with heavy smoke surrounding them, then they were further punished by forced to stand under the scorching sun for a long time. During the winter, they were forced to stand on ice. These female prisoners and prisoners of labor reform camps often did not receive timely medical treatment after their abuse. They were forced to participate in excessive physical activities. As if the physical abuse was not enough, these women also encountered cruel and aggressive verbal abuse, which caused severe deterioration on the minds and hearts of these female prisoners. As I mentioned before, a great number of female political prisoners were Buddhist nuns. Some of them suffered the worst abuse. At many of these prisons or forced labor camps, Buddhist nuns were sexually assaulted by the military police. In May of 1998, within Drapchi Prison, the first prison in Lhasa, three Buddhist nuns by the names of Chuntse Sangmo (of Peshawar Village, Lhünzhub County), Dikey Yangzom(of Dolwa Stupa, Nyêmo County,Lhasa), and Khandol Yunden (of Jobu Monastery,Nyemo County) respectively suffered beating and torture by three police officers. At that time, the military police officers used their police batons as weapons of sexual assault against these women. And due to the lengthened time which these military police officers tortured and beat these women, all three of the Buddhist nuns have since passed on. Those who are fortunate enough to survive currently reside in dispersed areas throughout the world. Some have become mothers to several children. Some have only started to live their lives again, and are educating themselves at various schools for Tibetan exiles.

Tibet gets its identity at a food festival A

As known, Tibetans inside Tibet and in exile have been struggling for freedom of Tibet for last sixty years under the leadership and guidance of HH The Dalai Lama. Time has witnessed many changes in Tibet policy of countries and nation in these sixty years and nations that considered Tibet as a forcefully occupied country started accepting Tibet as part of China. But, as said, truth always prevails and this one’s again happened at a food festival that was organized by Symbiosis collage in Indian city of Pune. Symbiosis collage is considered to be one of the prestigious collages of India . International Food Festival organized at Symbiosis collage witnesses Tibetan Food stall where delicious food stuff was served by students from Tibet. “No one considers Tibet as a nation and we are happy that at least Symbiosis collage considers Tibet as a nation” says Lhundup Tashi President of Students for free Tibet, a volunteer organization that runs campaigns against Chinese occupation of Tibet.

Leaders of National Democratic Party of Tibet and Tibetan NGO’s face imprisonment for lobbying for Tibet in India

Leaders of Tibetan political and non government organizations were logged into jail for lobbying for Tibet. Though, these arrests were made by security agencies as part of preventive measures to ensure security during recent Hu Jintao’s Delhi visit. But, it also suggested growing Chinese influence on India.
Noteworthy, The lobbying program were initiated aftermath of Mr. Inder Singh Namdari, Member of Parliament raised a question on ongoing self immolations in Tibet during Stared Question hour at Indian Lok Sabha.
Another member of parliament, Mr. Shivanand Tiwari had also stated in parliament that Tibet with whom Indians shares strong cultural and spiritual relationship is now facing critical time with many monks and nuns self immolating themselves which is not a suicide case at all.
We have not taken any reaction regarding this critical issue in Tibet.
The delegation could only meet Shri. Anand Kumar, Shri. Pardeep Kumar Singh and Shri. Rajendrasinh Rana of Bhartiya Janata Party, Shri.K.S. Alagiri of Congress Party and Shri.T.K.S.Elangovan of DMK Party. Who have promised to cooperate with Tibetan community for the cause of Tibet.

Repression would not end the sufferings of Tibetans and problems of Chinese regime in Tibet

Self immolations represent the frustration of Tibetans and need of time was to act sensibly without a pre set mindset said Acharya Yeshe, A known Tibetan lobbyist and member of existing Tibetan parliament in exile.
While giving his assessment for current situation Acharya Yeshe said situation was grim and was high time for Chinese officials to understand that repression of Tibetans inside Tibet would only add to sufferings of Tibetans and problems of Chinese rule inside Tibet.
Acharya also said that self immolation represented frustration of Tibetan youth inside Tibet under Chinese occupation. At the same time this also showed the desperation Tibetan people had towards return of HH Dalai Lama to Tibet.
Acharya Yeshe also expressed his disappointment towards the attitude of China’s neighboring countries towards Tibetans and issue of Tibet.

Dalai Lama is not Osama, Tibet is not Israel- By Tendar Tsering

We have the best leader in the world, the icon of peace the Dalai Lama but some times, I wonder do we really have the best leader?

24 Tibetans have lighted themselves to the fire in protest against the Chinese rule over Tibet, and the number could be 200 in next few more months-the self-immolation has reached at a no-return point.

However, the world is still keeping its eyes and ears closed to the ongoing critical conditions in Tibet. The Dalai Lama being god in the form of human being has become more or less a leader to the world, and if there is anyone in this world who might can solve the disputes of the world through dialogue, negotiation and peace, he is the only person. If there is anyone in this world who truly cares for welfare of the whole world, he is the person.

Yet, this loving person-the ambassador of dialogue and non-violence is being labelled as splitist and at several occassions, he has been denied the visa to visit several parts of the world including South Africa-the land of Nelson Mendela, the then icon of peace.

The people of the world deep down in their hearts, they do respect and appreciate this man the Dalai Lama, and consider as the world's best spiritual leader and peace icon but when it comes to the politics-one's own interest, the governments of the world refuse to meet this person, and refuse to address the problems of this man's people.

If the world really wants peace, and friendship on this planet, then it must stop its double game, double face-feeling something but doing something else.

But I am afraid that this world will never stop its double game-the dirty politics until it burns its own nose.

No matter, how many more Tibetans burn themselves on the fire, the world will not give a damn ####. For the leaders of the world, the politicians-the governments, self-immolation is nothing but a tool to be used for their own business benefits with the Beijing government.

Yet, the hearts of the world, the people of the world, I am sure care for a better world-for equality and justice.

So, it is the gloden chance for us, Tibetans to lobby the common masses of the world. I know at this period, every Tibetan is desperate and dying to do something for a free Tibet. Even death under the Chinese open fire and each self-immolation in Tibet saddens the hearts of Tibetans in exile as much as the Tibetans inside Tibet do.

As the blood of inside Tibetans falling from the Himalayas, hot blood of the exile Tibetans blowing up every day.

Yet, the normal monotonous candle light vigil rituals becoming boring but at the same time becomng painful as the candle light vigils bring no results and make the Tibetans feel that they are not doing enough.

Tibetans-young and old are longing for a 'revolution' that could blow up everything to fulfill the demands of those who died in protests against the Chinese government or be dispowered, and wait for a century to get back the roof of the world 'Tibet' in an another way, another method.

Something has to be done to bring back the 'no-return' point Tibetan self-immolation in Tibet. Yet we simply can't discourage the Tibetans inside Tibet not to burn themselves. Nor we do have the quality and courage to encourage.

Tibetans in exile, especially the social net work visiters are talking about Yak Revolution, Tsampa Revolution and some are talking about Dalai Lama Revolution. Because they are desperate to do something, because their hearts are paining when the news of deaths in Tibet reach exile.

Tibetans inside Tibet, and outside Tibet, physically far from each other and divided by the Himalayan mountains but the hearts of Tibetans inside Tibet and outside Tibet beat for each other.

Because of the Dalai Lama's bliss, this era of Tibetans might be peaceful and non-violent but if the world treate this Dalai Lama no better than Osama Bin Laden, then this could discourage the upcoming Tibetans-the new generation ones, and after Dalai Lama, Tibetans could become violent and might take up the violence as the fundamental tool to fight for freedom.

Tibet might become like Israel (conflict zone) and the worst case, there might be many more Tibetan Osamas in the post Dalai Lama era if China don't make use of the Dalai Lama now.

At that time, there will be no peace in Tibet nor in China nor in the neighboring countries and it will affect the peace of the whole world too. So at that time, don't regret, and don't blame the Tibetans because the China's treatement and the world's silence making the Tibetans to be like that only.

No one one was born to be violent but society makes them!

As of now, Tibetans are too peaceful, too humble, and in a way, Tibetans and Tibetan government in exile never try to challenge or attack China (even not with peaceful measures), always try to prevent. For instance, Tibetans in exile do teach and learn how to protect their computers from the virus that the Beijing government agencies do send and never try to attack back.

Days back, just after the announcement of the Tibetan Parliament in exile to revisit the international communities including the Embassies in the Indian capital New Delhi, the Chinese Embassy to the Indian Capital issued a letter to the US Embassy in Delhi urging the United States government to stay away from the members of the Tibetan Parliament, citing the issue of Tibet as an internal affair of mainland China.

Members of the Tibetan Parliament, apparently at gay feeling that their newly introduced Tibet movement is succeeding, they kept silent as if what the Chinese Embassy said is true instead of condmning the issue of letter.

Last year again, 32 Tibetan Parliamentarians sat on fast in New Delhi, and came back to Dharamshala at the seat of Tibetan government in exile, hailing that the fast went well though no leading news media highlighted.

However, I wonder such movements will make an impact or not even if the world media picked up the issue.

Nevertheless, Tibetans are dying to do something immediately, hence this is the perfect timing for the Tibetan government in exile, and Tibetan activism groups like Tibetan Youth Congress and Students for Free Tibet to guide the Tibetan common masses for a peaceful but powerful revolution that could shack the whole China.

Sadly not seen the powerful orators, and activits belonging to the above mentioned organizations in last few days amidst the wave of self-immolation and Chinese open fire in Tibet. Hopefully they are not on holiday away from offices.

This is the hour-the perfect time for the Tibetan leaders to guide the common masses for a powerful 'revolution'.

24 Tibetans have burned and still counting, but why not a 'Bhoe La Dro' march, why not a 'Delhi Chalo' march? Why? Why?

Why only the candle light vigils that too often organized regionalizm wise-some thing happens in Ngaba Kriti, exile Kriti people organize and something happens in Drango, people from Drango organize.

Let the activism groups like Tibetan Youth Congress and Students for Free Tibet organize the movements, and let common masses be the participants under their guidance.

We must remember that when our brothers and sisters in Tibet burn themselves, they burn for free Tibet, for the whole Tibet, and don't care where they are from.

We are Tibatans, and let us be just Tibetans-no amdo, no khampa, no U-tsang-just Tibetans for Tibet.

Whether we call it 'Tsampa revolution' or 'Yak revolution' or 'Dalai Lama revolution', let each of us make sure that we can lobby 1000 Indians or American in respective places, and do the revolution at one time constantly contineously till our demands got fulfilled.

Let us start lobbying in our day to day life-using social net works (Facebook and Twitter) and using our mouth in person, and 6 million of us make sure that each of us bring 1000 Tibetan supporters and do the 'revolution' in all the cities cross the continents constantly and continously till our demands got fulfilled like the people in Arab world did, like the Indian-Anna Hazare protest did.

If Arab Revolution can succeed, if the Anna Hazare protest can succeed, why not our revolution?

World community should extend political support to Tibetan freedom struggle and help Tibetans- Chime Youngdung

Since, HH Dalai Lama has decided to devolve his political powers to a democratically elected government in exile after election of Lobsang Sangey, as Prime Minister of exile government and his background of Tibetan Youth Congress has not only attracted many Tibetan Youth towards Tibetan struggle for freedom. But, also towards Tibetan Youth Congress.
Tibetan Youth Congress also has credit of forming the only political party of exile Tibetans namely National Democratic Party of Tibet.
National Democratic Party of Tibet’s president Mr. Chime Youngdung feels that the recent round of self immolations taking place inside Tibet resemble the anger and anguish of Tibetan people against Chinese occupation and control of Tibet for last many years. The aim and objective of these self immolations is clearly freedom from Chinese control and return of HH Dalai Lama to Tibet.
China has been repressing the Tibetans for last 60 years with brutality and barbarism and world community has been extending sympathy to Tibetans inside Tibet and in exile for last sixty years. Now, time has come for international community to rise above statements of sympathy and pressurize Chinese officials to restore basic human rights of Tibetans in side Tibet.
Mr. Youngdung also told that Tibetans have not reached to stage where one decides such drastic steps like self immolation in one or two days. They have started this after facing years of atrocities, barbarism and brutality.
Mr. Chime Youngdung also appealed to world community to come forward and extend political support to Tibetan government in exile to pressurize Chinese officials to ensure restoration of Human rights for Tibetans inside and outside Tibet.

China should stop brutal and barbaric torture on Tibetans to stop self immolations

Expressing anger and aguish over Chinese brutal and barbaric approach towards handling of Tibetans in present round of unrest CTA’s International Relations in charge and cabinet member of Central Tibetan Administration Ms. Dikki Chhoyang today said that present round of self immolations suggests that Chinese policies of repression were not working inside Tibet and it was high time for Chinese officials tp re assess their policies towards Tibet and Tibetan People.
She also told that CTA was shocked by the violent approach adopted by Tibetan young boys and girls inside Tibet. She also appealed Tibetan youth to restrain from taking such violent and drastic steps.
