A group of Tibetan refugees on a protest march to Tibet from India were stopped by the Indian police on 13 March. The Tibetan refugees set off on the march on Monday from the northern hill town of Dharamshala across India to their homeland as part of protests leading up to the Beijing Olympics. The organisers of the 'peace march' said that they want to use the occasion of the build-up to the Beijing Olympics to draw attention to the oppression in Tibet under Chinese rule. EPA/STR

media in the western society likes to exergerate the dark side of China gov.

actually this is not a peaceful protest, those protestors killed people.

as the responsibility of media, they should report news on a just and middle stand point.

no country in the world would let thoses voilent protesting goes on, China one day would be the strongest country in the world, and all westerners please shut up.

any of you guys want to talk about this please contact me in e-mail:

Wow, they seemed to outnumber chinese world wide. Behold, the magic of Media. The population with 1.4 bil don't have a voice, yet the population of total of 5 million (of course a small percentage of them) with all the free media coverage they want. They could twist the story and made up numbers at will. Good for you. Let me just remind you there are 50 mil oversea chinese and alot of them read in two languages.

So... why don't we also show those same protesters: who are throwing sticks and rocks at local police around the world? Those who are smashing police officers with anything from eggs/tomatoes to rocks/chairs? Hello?

It doesn't matter the cause, no matter how great it is, it must be done in a peaceful matter for it to work! Look at Dr. King! That's what makes it work! Look at the earlier Dalai Lama: Speeches and marches, that's what makes it work. NOT riots. NOT going round town and harass every Chinese people you see, That's what makes it worse. WORSE.

Please people! Don't you see it? This is does deserve attention, but not pity. People are hurt in these, not only Tibetans, not only Chinese. Torrists and police officers around the world are hurt (and worse).
