Rise Up, Resist, Return!
One World, One Dream: Free Tibet

March 10th 2008, marks the 49th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising when tens of thousands of Tibetans rose up against China's illegal invasion and occupation of their country. Despite China's best attempts to destroy the Tibetan spirit, Tibetan resistance has continued for nearly half a century inside Tibet and in exile communities worldwide.

This year, with all eyes focused on the Olympics in China, Tibetans and supporters worldwide are protesting the Chinese government's use of the Olympics as a political tool to legitimize its illegal occupation of Tibet.

Join the Global Uprising for Tibet! Help us draw attention to the worsening human rights situation inside Tibet. Help us use the Olympics spotlight to shame and embarrass the Chinese government and show them that until Tibet is free, China will never be never be accepted as a leader on the world stage.

TIBET WILL BE FREE

Mnie bardzo wzruszył na tej stronie angielskiej o marszu taki filmik tam zamieszczony, gdzie dziewczyna z Team Tibet samotnie biegnie wokół ruin starożytnej Olimpii z zapaloną pochodnią - przejmujący symbol nieuczestnictwa w olimpiadzie hańby. Przepraszam za nieścisły adres "ratujtybet" - ja po prostu tak wchodzę na tę stronę. Ale szczęśliwie wiecie, gdzie to jest.

BEIJING - China escalated its rhetoric against supporters of the Dalai Lama on Tuesday, accusing the Nobel Peace laureate's backers of planning suicide attacks.

The Tibetan government-in-exile dismissed the allegation, saying it remained dedicated to the nonviolent struggle long promoted by their Buddhist leader.

"Tibetan exiles are 100 percent committed to nonviolence. There is no question of suicide attacks. But we fear that Chinese might masquerade as Tibetans and plan such attacks to give bad publicity to Tibetans," said Samdhong Rinpoche, prime minister of the government in exile in Dharmsala, India.

Public Security Ministry spokesman Wu Heping said searches of monasteries had turned up 176 guns, 13,013 bullets, 19,000 sticks of dynamite, 7,725 pounds of unspecified explosives, two hand grenades, and 350 knives.

He provided no details or evidence.

"To our knowledge, the next plan of the Tibetan independence forces is to organize suicide squads to launch violent attacks," Wu said at a rare news conference on Tuesday.

He used the term "gan si dui," a rare term directly translated as "dare-to-die corps." The official English version of his remarks released by the Public Security Ministry translated the term as "suicide squads."

Beijing has repeatedly lashed out against the Dalai Lama and his supporters since March 14 anti-government riots in Tibet, labeling the spiritual leader a "cat's paw of international anti-China forces" and denouncing protesting monks as the "scum of Buddhism."

In recent days China has been showing decades-old propaganda films on state television portraying Tibetan society as cruel and primitive before the 1950 invasion by communist troops.

Beijing accuses the Dalai Lama and his supporters of orchestrating riots as part of a campaign to sabotage the Beijing Summer Olympics and promote Tibetan independence. China has ignored international calls for mediation and refuses to discuss accusations of discrimination, repression and economic disenfranchisement.

The 72-year-old Peace Prize winner has condemned the violence and urged an independent international investigation into the unrest and its underlying causes. The Dalai Lama has repeatedly said he seeks autonomy for Tibet under Chinese rule.

Chinese state media says 18 civilians and one police officer were killed in the Lhasa riots. All but one were migrants from other parts of China, among the many who have flooded into the region in recent decades.

Tibetan exiles say the violence and the harsh crackdown afterward left nearly 140 people dead.

BEIJING - As many as 1,000 or more members of China's Muslim ethnic Uighur minority staged protests in the restive region of Xinjiang last week and a local government administration said some were carrying separatist flags.

The unrest in the western city of Hetian, also known as Khotan, came about a week after monk-led marches in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, devolved into a citywide anti-Chinese riot, and as sporadic protests erupted in other Tibetan populated areas.

It also follows what Chinese authorities say was a failed attempt by Xinjiang separatists to blow up a plane in mid-air on March 7, and coincides with China making security a top priority ahead of the Beijing Olympics in August that have become a lightning rod for human rights and other activists.

China blames the exiled Dalai Lama, whom it labels a separatist, for stirring up the Lhasa violence in which it says 19 people died. The Tibet government-in-exile says around 140 people died.

More than 1,000 demonstrators gathered in Hetian, which is populated mostly by Turkic-speaking ethnic Uighurs, on March 23-24, said Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the World Uyghur Congress, an exile group based in Germany that seeks independence for the region.

Most were female and sought more religious freedom in the mostly Muslim region, he said. Some had also protested against young Uighur women being forced into labour elsewhere in China without legal guarantees.

The Web site of the Hetian city government, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] confirmed there had been a "disturbance", but blamed it on a unspecified supporters of what China calls the "Three Forces" -- ethnic separatism, religious extremism and terrorism.

"A tiny minority of 'Three Forces' elements tried to instigate the masses in the Hetian bazaar," the Web site said.

Some "held flags inciting separatism, gathered in the market and caused a ruckus, and planned to incite and dupe the masses into causing trouble and creating an effect", it said.

Police stopped the disturbance and were handling the "Three Forces elements" according to law, it added, without saying exactly how many people participated or were detained.

Raxit said about 500 people were held.

U.S. government-supported Radio Free Asia also reported a few hundred people were taken into custody after several hundred people gathered in Hetian and a nearby area to protest against the death in custody of a prominent Uighur jade trader and philanthropist.

The protesters also demanded an end to an official bid to ban head scarves and seek greater autonomy, the end of the use of torture and the release all political prisoners, it quoted sources as saying.

Xinjiang is home to 8 million Muslim Uighurs, many of whom resent the growing presence and economic grip of Han Chinese. The oil-rich region borders Pakistan and Afghanistan.

A poem from Tibet

I’ve seen the snow, pure and fair sullied with the blood of the innocent—
I’ve witnessed millions of people becoming homeless in their own land—
With excruciating pain in my eyes I watch the land of the Bodhisattvas crushed under red boots.

(By Tenzin Gelek, Wind Horses, originally in Chinese translated by Tsering Dhondup
