Tibetan Protests, March 10 through April 5, 2008 
Labrang Monks Stage Protest During Official Media Tour, April 9, 2008
How You Can Help the People of Tibet An Appeal Released April 2008 I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to the world leaders, Parliamentarians, NGOs and members of the public who have expressed their concern over the recent deeply saddening and tragic events in Tibet. I am also grateful for their efforts to persuade the Chinese authorities to exercise restraint in dealing with the peaceful protesters, while at the same time calling for meaningful dialogue to resolve the issue. I believe the recent demonstrations and protests are a manifestation of the deep-rooted resentment not only of the Tibetan people in the so-called Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), but also in the outlying traditional Tibetan areas now incorporated into Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, where there exist substantial communities of ethnic Tibetans.

Speaker of the House the Honorable Nancy Pelosi’s Resolution on Tibet The Honorable Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House and Congressional representative from San Francisco and Marin counties, recently led a bipartisan Congressional Delegation that met with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government-in-Exile in India. She later introduced House Resolution 1077, which passed on 8 April 2008 by a vote of 413-1. In her statement afterwards, she said: “The cause of Tibet is a challenge to the conscience of the world. For far too long, the Tibetan people have suffered due to the repressive policies of the Chinese government as they have sought the basic human rights and dignity to which all people of the world are entitled. I look forward to the House making a powerful and unified statement in support of the fundamental freedom and dignity of the Tibetan people at this critical time.” To read the full text of the resolution, please click here and scroll half-way down the page: http://www.speaker.gov/legislation?id=0173 To read a summary of selected co-sponsors’ statements, please click here: http://www.studentsforafreetibet.org/article.php?id=1463 Tibet’s Tipping Point As a Tibetan, it is bittersweet to see Tibet on the front pages. The world is finally seeing Beijing's repressive rule there, but the tragedy is that it has required such bloodshed. As Chinese forces now attempt to crush the protests, the crisis in Tibet has laid bare two important issues: the Tibetan people's unresolved demands, and how these aspirations impact Tibet, the world and China itself.
