TCHRD realeases 2009 Annual Report on the Human Rights Situation in Tibet

On January 22, the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy released their annual report for 2009, and as expected, it's not exactly light reading.

The year 2009 was no different when it comes to violation of human rights of the Tibetan people inside Tibet by the Chinese authorities. For Tibetans inside Tibet it’s been yet another year of heightened security, repression, isolation and suppression. The year encapsulated with numbers of highly sensitive anniversaries in Chinese calendar was dealt with an iron fist. The year 2009 marked 50 years of exile for the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan people.
... China outshined its notoriety as the world’s leading practitioner of death penalty, carrying out more executions than all the other nations in the world put together.
... there are hundreds of Tibetans who are still held without any charges...

OM MANI PADME HUM

Love & clear light,
