- New video Chinese police's brutal repression on Tibetans in 2008
Rangzen Cafe has added a photo to the pool:
Chinese police hunting down Tibetans like rabbits in the borrows without producing any arrest warrant violates basic human rights. In the first place, 2008 event was not at all a riot, but revolution of Tibetans against the China's illegal occupation of Tibet for more than fifty years. Tibet was not and will never be a part of China. Tibet was a fully functional nation before China's occupation in 1959. She had her centralized Govt. in Lhasa, national currency, postal system, issued passport to her citizens and more importantly laid treaty with neighboring countries. All these and more proves that Tibet was an occupied nation. For more, visit www.rangzen.net
