(I did not take these photos myself- they came from the Tibetan Uprising website)In the last 5 days:
101 participants in the March to Tibet that I mentioned in my last entry have been imprisoned by the Indian government and will be detained for 14 days. The march, although peaceful, is being prohibited. Please go to http://www.tibetanuprising.org/ for details and updates. The above photos are of the arrest of the marchers.
Over 100 monks and peaceful demonstrators have been killed in Lhasa over the last five days. The roads are all closed, the media has been shut down, and the streets are on fire. Countless protestors have been beaten and imprisoned.
VIOLENT SUPPRESSION IS TAKING PLACE.
HUMAN RIGHTS ARE BEING BLATANTLY VIOLATED.
PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED, BEATEN, TORTURED.
What can we do? Honestly, what can you, as an individual do? We are so LUCKY to live in a country where we have a voice, please think to yourself right now, what can I do? And then do it. Tell everyone you know. Please go to these websites, read about the situation, Call your friends, get them to call their friends, call your local newspaper or television station, have a candlelight vigil. Or just ask them if they are covering the event. Urge them to. You can make a difference.
Mom, Dad, Lindsay, Liz, you can help. Lee, Chuck, Katie, Kevin, Tyler, Susanna, Russ, Polly, you can help. Rachel, Clara, Evan, Cam, Ashton, Zack, Garland, You can help. Tom, Bonnie, Gabby, you can help! Anyone and everyone reading this, you can help. Really you can, world awareness is what we need. China cannot act this way and expect to be a part of OUR global community and we are not powerless to watch and let it happen!
Go to these sites. Look at the pictures. Read about it. Talk about it. Find the right people to talk to. And don't worry, I'm safe, not getting actively involved. This is my effort.
