Tibetan People's Appeal



A handout I received as this demonstration marched by:

The Chinese government has made the following accusations against His Holiness the Dalai Lama:
  1. Dalai Lama seeks genuine autonomy for Tibet, but China accuses him of trying to split China.
  2. Dalai Lama advocates democracy, but China accuses him of trying to restore Tibet's old social order.
  3. Dalai Lama supports the Beijing Olympics, but China accuses him of opposing it.
We appeal the United Nations, human rights organizations, and all the freedom-loving countries across the world to act as honest witnesses and prove that these accusations and allegations of the Chinese are baseless and untrue. Tibetans struggle for the truth and justice will not cease until and unless Tibet and China come to a mutually-peaceful agreement. We will continue with our non-violent demonstrations and peaceful march. We request all the nations around the world to show solidarity to our cause, and do not hinder our peaceful campaigns.

If you are uncertain as to what the Dalai Lama's official beliefs and opinions are, please visit his website: www.dalailama.com
