Throughout the world, people have protested about the way the Chinese authorities have treated the Tibetans involved in the demonstrations against the Chinese occupation forces.
In Kathmandu, Nepal, teenagers, Tibetan refugees, demonstrated too. The images of their protest shows incredible courage. In one photo I saw a girl who was sitting on the ground, while the police were trying to drag her away. There’s another one of a desperate boy, surrounded by police.
In India’s capital New Delhi, there were more demonstrations, this time by university students. They too were taken away by the police, but later released.
There were other displays of courage, for instance when a group of monks dared to speak the truth before a number of Western reporters, who had been invited for a special show of propaganda, during a tour of a monastery. That didn’t turn out quite the way the authorities had imagined. They have made promises about not punishing protesting monks, but it remains to be seen how much faith you can have in such promises. Already, several monks have been hurt during other demos.
