More oppression of minority groups by the Chinese authorities. Read more about it in this article.

Chinese police shoot dam protesters. Six women killed. You'll find the news here.

I just read a couple of interesting articles about the situation in Tibet. Let's not forget the Tibetans. Other troubled areas in the world get attention, but it seems the world is finding it easy to forget Tibet.

In this article, you can read about how the Chinese authorities are banning foreign visitors from Tibet.

According to Dalai Lama Tibet is hell on earth under China. This is what BBC News has to say about that.

Here, you can read about how exiles are keeping the Tibetan identity alive.

The Guardian (UK) writes about the situation in Tibet, here.

I am so deeply disappointed in people. That's nothing new. More or less every day I read news and articles proving that most 'ordinary' people, just care about themselves.

This time, it's about the situation in Tibet. China. The Olympics. People think it's fun to watch sports on tv, which naturally means that it's 'right' to follow the Olympics from Beijing, China. They want to do business with China, and that means choosing to look away from the oppression, the discrimination of women and others, the torture of innocent animals. Money's nice. That's why people make up excuses for themselves and don't need to have a conscience.

Shame on you, all you people who don't care about people and animals, as long as they live far enough away from you!

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.
