Free TibetApr 15th, 2008 - 14:16:52

China's human rights abuses are 'staggering': the detention of hundreds of thousands of people, including political activists, for 'reeducation' programs, and forced labor camps; and the liberal use of the death penalty in China -- including for political prisoners -- which makes China the site of 8 of every 10 government administered executions carried out in the world!

CCP is full of deceit and has figured out how to play the West. They can't be trusted at all and they have a bag full of tricks to fool not only Tibetans but the whole world with a state-controlled press. The best solution is a free Tibet. There is no doubt that a sovereign Tibet would be a savior state not only for Tibetans but for all ethnic groups of China who have nowhere to go if they disagree with the CCP. A free Tibet would be such a free democratic heaven and a safe haven.

well a free tibet would be a free state, that never garantees harmonious living between its inhabitants. the two should never be confused.
democracy without freedoms enshrined is only in name a democracy no matter how many times and election is held (case in point Zimbabwe)

Juha your statements are silly, they are running backwards, you try to imply that chinese rule is natural and harmonious, you invaded them in the 50's. You recently completed a rail line (about 7 or 8 yrs ago) and started sending settlers en-mass, I would be pissed too, all the rest is commie BS.
