<description><![CDATA[Lodi Gyaltsen Gyari Special Envoy of His Holiness the Dalai Lama April 3rd, 2008 Below is the complete article written by Lodi Gyaltsen Gyari, the Dalai Lama's Special Envoy, followed by the version edited due to space constraints which appeared in the International Herald Tribune on April 3, 2008. In the last few weeks we have witnessed an uprising against the Chinese authorities' repressive policies on the Tibetan plateau, the likes of which we have not seen in a generation. A terrifying crackdown has begun on a scale never seen before in Tibet, in the full glare of the world's attention just months before the Olympics in Beijing.<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A former top official in China's ruling Communist Party has called on the Chinese government to open talks with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, as a matter of urgency. Bao Tong, former aide to ousted late premier Zhao Ziyang, says both Tibetans and Han Chinese have suffered at the hands of a Maoist political philosophy. He wrote this essay, broadcast by RFA's Mandarin service, from his Beijing home, where he has lived under house arrest since his release from jail in the wake of the 1989 student movement: Take harmony seriously; talk to the Dalai Lama by Bao Tong<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our Stellar Spirit Award is conferred upon husband and wife journalists Chen Guidi and Wu Chuntao, authors of the book &quot;Can the boat sink the water?&quot; which narrates the desperate condition of the Chinese rural population, crushed by the corrupt &quot;mafioso&quot; - type political power of the Chinese government authorities. Their book was published in China in 2003. 150,000 copies were sold in a month. In 2004, the book was censured by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee and the authors were placed under house arrest as &quot;special prisoners.

<description><![CDATA[For everyone else with a trace of conscience and a grasp of diplomacy, the truth is out: The Beijing Olympics debacle has begun. So finishes an editorial in the Taipei Times published on Saturday, as news reports of rioting in Tibet whipped around the world. The pro-independence Taipei Times is probably not the place to look for an unbiased view of events in the People's Republic of China, but what struck me as I pondered the words were how true they rang.<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

For having written 6 articles and having been interviewed twice by foreign journalists, Hu Jia is risking 5 years of prison for &quot;instigating subversion of the state power.&quot; Hu Jia is a well-known Chinese activist. For many years he has fought against the spread of Aids in China and was one of the first to speak out about the scandal of the sale of infected blood, which caused thousands of deaths.<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&quot;I was surprised that such few protests were held in Holland against holding the Olympic Games in China, the last of the totalitarian regimes. In China there are more than a thousand hard labor camps (the laogai, which means &quot;re-education camp&quot;). The persecution of the Falun Gong has become more and more violent. It's not necessary to be a genius to understand why China is so interested in countries like Tibet, Burma and Darfur.&quot;<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

The situation in Tibet is a challenge to the conscience of the worlda4 Today we are here at this sad time together in shedding the bright light of truth on what is happening inside Tibet.

<description><![CDATA[In order to realize a study that would give us an idea of China 's place in the classification of democides/genocides, we had to compile this list of the &quot;top-rated.&quot; We were very surprised by the results, which require no comment or political observation. We just want to point out that the means of information and the mass-media, which are controlled by the &quot;WINNERS,&quot; never talk about the millions who lost their lives, but only about the thousands of deaths caused by the &quot;LOSERS.&quot;<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>
