This people impressed me by his kindness and incredible pacifism and one of the most pleasant I know even with what they bear since 1958 (date of china invasion).
On april 13, the march 2008 Chinese repression made a minimum of 154 death, more than 550 grievously injured, and more than 1400 prisoners.
All pictures of this exhibition as been taken during april 2008, in Nepal and Mcleod Ganj, in India (Dharamsala, place of Dalaï Lama residence and exiled Tibetan government).
These images are showing Tibetans live et actions to attract international attention on what happen in Tibet.
The Katmandu demonstrations are strongly stopped by Nepal police. All participants are strongly teared out one by one and arrested for one or two days. China put a lot of pressure on Nepal’s government who’s not in position to say no.
Tibetans actions are sufficient to attract international attention ?
How can we defend human rights if nthing is done in this situation ?
Even China is an enormous commercial power, does it justify international immobility ?
If everybody act at his hown level, it is possible to make things evolve for the future.
