In our top story today, the situation on Tibet
The Chinese have set midnight today as a deadline for protestors to surrender, or face so-called 'harsh punishment.' Around 10,000 police and military personnel are said to be involved in the crackdown.
Anne Holmes is the director of the Free Tibet Campaign in London.
[Anne Holmes, Director Free Tibet Campaign]: "The fact that monks, nuns and lay people are being killed, arrested for simply trying to tell the world that they want to have their country back is a travesty. However I also commend their courage in doing so because they do it knowing the stiff penal
ties their face, the long term jails, possible torture...." Holmes added that she didn't think Tibetan people were against ethnic Chinese, but wanted to preserve traditional Tibetan culture. [Anne Holmes, Director Free Tibet Campaign]: "I think for the average Tibetan person, they have no deep fel
t animosity towards Han Chinese migrants, just as people in any country can get on well with migrants to their country. The problem for Tibetans in Tibet is that their language and their culture are disappearing. And this is being done in a calculated manner by the Communist Chinese Authorities who
have been ruling Tibet for sixty years." Over the weekend, the Chinese communist party (CCP) resisted calls for restraint, and has instead declared a "people's war" of security and propaganda against the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists. The CCP has accused the Dalai Lama of m
asterminding the protests. The Dalai Lama has called that accusation 'absolutely baseless.'

The guy broadcasting is ugly. He pretended he can speak English.
yes, u r rite! USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa are also occupied country. U see, the british is smarter than german! they can build few english speaking countries by invading the lands by force and killed many natives there.
So German needs to launch another World War 3to occupy other lands. I suggest u to invade China and India.
what is the consequence of tibet be freed? is USA or your country going to assist them in building their economy? or just leave them alone after independence?
