1. Tibet government leader tells Karmapa not to betray motherland
BEIJING, March 9 (AFP) - The head of China's Tibetan Autonomous Region
Thursday warned the Dalai Lama's exiled government in India not to use
the escaped Karmapa Lama to further "activities" aimed at splitting
Tibet from China.
"The Dalai Lama clique and some foreign forces have wanted to control
and use the Karmapa for their own ulterior motives," Raidi, the
Communist Party secretary of Tibet, told journalists.
"Because of this we firmly oppose anyone, under any guise, to use the
Karmapa to engage in political activities aimed at splitting China," he
said at a press conference organized by the ongoing National People's
Congress in Beijing. Raidi was commenting on the Karmapa Lama's escape from Tibet last December and his eventual reunion with the exiled government of the Dalai Lama in the Indian hill station of Dharamsala. "Recently the Karmapa and some other persons left the Tsurphu monastery. When he left he left a letter, I have seen it with my own

6. Bomb at Tibet government office damages district (Reuter)
BEIJING, Dec 29 (Reuter) - A bomb exploded outside a government office in
the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, and Chinese authorities on Sunday described the
blast that shattered windows for 100 metres as "an appalling act of
terrorism."
The Christmas Day bomb, the largest so far set off by anti-Chinese
activists in the restive Himalayan region of Tibet, resulted in no
casualties but caused widespread damage, local officials said by telephone
from Lhasa.
"It was a huge explosion that could be heard a long way off," said a
government official, who refused to be identified.
"This was the biggest bomb blast by counterrevolutionary elements in Lhasa," a party official said. "None of the terrorists has been arrested, but one thing is certain this was done by plotters of the Dalai (Lama) clique." The bomb exploded on the doorstep of the Lhasa City Chengguan District Government Office in the early hours of December 25, ripping apart the gateway to the buildings that house the main city government offices, the

He's warm, friendly, outspoken. And he's the spiritual and political leader of 6 million Tibetans, guiding a government-in-exile in India. In 1992, after months of preparation to set up our meeting, my wife, Anastasia, and I, along with our friend Jock Fistick, had the opportunity to have a one-hour audience with his All Holiness, the Dalai Lama of Tibet, at his religious and goverment-in-exile compound in Dharamsala, India. Enclosed here in this section of the web page is a collection of images from behind the walls of Dalai Lama's residence in exile, where he, along with his followers, continue their cultural ways and traditions.

4 June 1998 Reshuffle in Tibet government: committee members expelled In a reshuffle of the top leadership in the Tibet Autonomous Region following the seventh TAR People's Congress last month, Gyaltsen Norbu has been replaced by another Tibetan, 54-year old Legchog, as chairman of the TAR regional government. Legchog's appointment further strengthens the authority of Ragdi , who himself has been re-elected chairman of the standing committee of the TAR People's Congress. It is not yet known whether the 66-year-old Gyaltsen Norbu has retired from service or whether he will be transferred to another post. The expulsion in April of two Tibetan members from the regional Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) is being viewed as a continuation of Ragdi’s campaign to "purify the ranks of party members and cadres" and a warning to other officials and party members that even their private opinions will be taken into account. Dorje Dramdul and Phuntsog were expelled from the CPPCC for activities described as "harmful to Tibet's stability and in serious violation of the CPPCC constitution". The close links between Legchog (known as Lieque in Chinese), the new chairman of the TAR regional government, and 60-year old

"Speech of the 17th Karmapa" The following is a TIN translation of the speech given by the 17th Karmapa Ugyen Trinley Dorje on 19 February 2000, to mark the 60th anniversary of the enthronement of the 14th Dalai Lama. It is the most political speech that the Karmapa has given since his arrival in Dharamsala, seat of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile, on 5 January 2000. In this speech, the Karmapa acknowledges the lack of religious freedom in Tibet and emphasises his loyalty to the Dalai Lama. Today, on this auspicious occasion of the [60th] anniversary when His Holiness the Dalai Lama, [full invocation of the religious salutation given i.e. 'the guardian and protector of the world, the compassionate emanation of the Avaloketesvara, embodiment of wisdom and knowledge'], who reincarnated in the Land of Snows, and [on this day] ascended the majestic golden throne in the Potala Palace, Lhasa; I would like to offer my 'Tashi Delek' greetings to Your Holiness, to the assembled congregation of the prominent and non-sectarian leaders and scholars of all the different sects- the beholders of the Buddhist lineage, to all the members of the ecclesiastical order and laity of Tibet - the Land of Snows, and to all the Cabinet Ministers, and Civil/Public Servants of our Government. Generally speaking, there are conflicts in many different regions of the world. Likewise, in some regions and places, due to the lack of the freedom to enjoy the right to individual freedoms; and the lack of knowledge and understanding, conflicts occur in such regions and countries. To take the case of our own country Tibet - the Land of Snows, it used to be a land where the sacred faith [Buddhist] and all aspects of [Tibetan] intellectual and literary culture flourished. However, over [the last] twenty to thirty years, Tibet suffered a great loss whereby Tibetan religious traditions and culture is now facing the risk of total extinction (

Tibet Day 2003: Saturday 8 March
Tibet Day 2003 is the 44th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising of 1959 and commemorates the 430,000 Tibetans * who lost their lives fighting for their freedom against the Chinese occupation.
[* Tibet government-in-exile estimate] All are welcome to join Tibetans and Tibet supporters on the march and invited to the cultural event in the afternoon.
Freedom March - Stop Blair's Silence on Tibet
The march will call on the Prime Minister Tony Blair to stand up for Tibet when he visits China in April 2003. Time: Gather from 11.00am. March starts at 11.30am, proceeding south towards Whitehall. Venue: opposite Chinese Embassy, 49-51 Portland Place, London W1. Nearest tubes: Great Portland Street, Regent's Park or Oxford Circus. Rally: Speeches from approximately 1.00pm at Whitehall - King Charles Street, London SW1. On his last visit to China in 1998, the Prime Minister was roundly criticised by the media and Free Tibet Campaign for failing to speak out for Tibet with the Chinese regime. Similarly, when Chinese leaders have visited the UK, the Prime Minister's record on raising Tibet has been poor. According to a Downing Street spokesperson, Tibet was only "touched on" in the Prime Minister's discussions with the then Vice President, Hu Jintao in October 2002. Hu Jintao became Party Secretary at the 16th Chinese Communist Party Congress in November 2002 and is expected to become the President of China in March 2003. Free Tibet Campaign needs your help to call on the Prime Minister to:

Tibet Day demonstration will call on Blair to Push for Peace for Tibet
Press Advisory 5 March, 2003
[LONDON] On Tibet Day, Saturday 8 March, hundreds of Tibet supporters will march to Whitehall to call on Tony Blair to push for peace for Tibet. The Prime Minister is due to visit China in late April(1), a month after the Communist Party appoints its new President and Prime Minister(2). Free Tibet campaigners will deliver a letter to Downing Street asking Mr. Blair to extract a promise from Hu Jintao (China's likely President) that China will enter into unconditional negotiations with the Tibetan Government in exile, in order to peacefully resolve the 53 year occupation of Tibet. The Tibet Day march is held annually to commemorate the anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising of 10 March 1959.(3) Anne Callaghan of Free Tibet Campaign said: "In this climate of fear and uncertainty over a possible war in Iraq, we believe the Prime Minister has a duty to reward the Tibetans' peaceful struggle for freedom. He should insist that Beijing drops its pre-conditions for negotiations with the democratically elected Tibetan Government in exile, when he goes to China next month. The recent contacts between Dharamsala and Beijing could give a negotiated settlement a chance, but only if the international community actively supports it." The protestors want a guarantee that Prime Minister will not repeat his mistake during his last visit to China in 1998, when he was accused of 'letting China off the hook' by adopting a softly, softly approach to human rights. In September 2002 China invited two envoys of the Tibetan Government in exile to Beijing and Lhasa for "talks about talks", but optimism that a breakthrough in resolving the occupation of Tibet may be at hand has been tempered by the hard-line President-elect Hu Jintao adopted when he was Party Secretary in Tibet(4) and the recent crackdown in Kardze, Sichuan Province which has resulted in the execution of 28 year old Lobsang Dhondup and a suspended death sentence for respected religious leader Tenzin Deleg Rinpoche.(5)

Recognition of Tibet Is Starting Point for Solidifying Taiwan's Sovereignty
Tiwanese Collegian support His Holiness the Dalai Lama to visit Taiwan
Statement No. 1
October 25, 1996
Taiwanese Collegian and Taiwanese-North American students are jointly calling on the attention of the Taiwan government to seize this historic moment and correct its mistaken territorial and sovereignty claim first, by recognizing the independent status of Tibet and second, by inviting His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Taiwan based on the status of two equal, sovereign states. Our statement follows.
(1) Taiwan and Tibet should help each other.
The Tibetan people have continued their brave struggle against China's invasion for over 40 years. Tibet surely qualifies as an independent sovereign nation whether from a historical or cultural point of view, or from the perspective of the Tibetans' will for self-determination. Tibet, as well as Taiwan, are both victims of the "one China" policy. Taiwan should work with Tibet in fighting against Chinese imperialistic expansionism and the accompanying "one China" propaganda. Taiwan and Tibet should also build a strategic alliance against Chinese ambitions to absorb its neighboring countries by force.
(2) The recognition of Tibet is a necessary condition for Taiwan to gain its own international recognition.

Why Tibet
Hear Tibet! International Campaign for a UN Referendum in Tibet Response to Andrew Ayers - August 4, 2000 Andrew Ayer's essay comes as a result of a very valuable dialog we have had with Andy and others at Students for a Free Tibet (SFT). We appreciate their putting such serious consideration into the referendum campaign and for focusing attention on contentious issues. Andrew Ayer's essay starts by saying, "The referendum campaign seems likely to fail, and thereby waste valuable time, energy and money." The chances of success may be against us, but we are not deterred. We feel that such a fundamental right as self-determination is worth fighting for regardless of the odds (call us quixotic). We are not willing to abandon the Tibetans' right to self-determination just because it is going to be a tough fight. However, there are other things to consider. 1. The odds of success may be higher than Andrew allows. We have argued that a referendum is inevitable in the grand scale of things (looking perhaps generations ahead); the question is whether we can make it come about sooner rather than later. In particular, we are laying the groundwork for a democratic outcome for the time when the central Chinese government eventually liberalizes its policies and outlook. 2. We do not need to have a referendum for our campaign to be successful. If the referendum campaign succeeds in contributing pressure on Beijing that eventually leads to negotiations or some other desired outcome, then it has been a success.

Why Tibet
Hear Tibet! International Campaign for a UN Referendum in Tibet Response to Jamyang Norbu - August 7, 2000 Some time ago we wrote to Jamyang-la about the referendum because his is one of the most articulate and insistent voices in support of rangzen (indepencence). We looked forward to receiving his advice and his views and now we are glad to have them. We welcome him to the discussion, for it is immensely valuable to have all sides to an argument well considered before making a decision that may have a momentous impact on the lives of millions of Tibetans. Unfortunately, there are some factual errors in the article which we feel obliged to correct. Jamyang-la states that the current Hear Tibet! campaign "seems to be a reworking of an earlier referendum scheme that the Tibetan government launched some years ago." This is not the intent. As we have tried to make clear elsewhere on this Web site ( How this Referendum Differs from that Called for in 1995 ), there are some very important distinctions. The first is that the current referendum is intended to hear from the Tibetan people their own wishes for their own political future; whereas the 1995 referendum was intended to poll the Tibetans (primarily those outside Tibet) in order to set the course of the Tibet movement. The distinction is that the 1995 referendum was intended to decide the strategy or path that was to be followed in the Tibet movement; the current referendum is to let the Tibetan people determine the destination, or the goal, or the outcome of the movement. The earlier referendum was to determine how do we get there; the current referendum is to determine where the Tibetan people want to go. The referendum of 1995 provided a choice between means of reaching accommodation or confrontation with China: Satyagraha, Middle Path, negotiations, self-determination, or
