Het leven in Tibet is, en wordt onmenselijk gemaakt door een onvoorstelbare repressie, beroving van vrijheid van uiting, taal en religie. Deze "Global protest" nam plaats in 90 landen. alsook tijden de G20 top in Cannes Frankrijk, waar Hu Jintao 'de Chinese president' aanwezig was. Een intense 5 daagse meeting werd gehouden in Cannes waar een 75 tal mensen uit landen, als Zwitserland, Duitsland, Frankrijk, Noorwegen,Zweden, Rusland, België, USA, Spanje ea aan deelnamen. Georganiseerd door "www.tibetnetwork.org/ International Tibet Network" Zo werd dus De Vrienden van Tibet ook vertegenwoordigd. Dank zij mijn training heb ik kunnen deelnemen aan een van de eerste protesten zoals te zien op de foto's.

Persbericht van de Tibetaanse gemeenschap België, de Vrienden van Tibet, het Tibetan Youth Congress, Chushigangdruk en International Campaign for Tibet. Solidariteitswake en hongerstaking ter nagedachtenis van de 10 zelfverbrandingen van Tibetaanse monniken en een non. Op 3 en 4 en 7,8 en 9 november 2011. Luxemburg plein te Brussel tussen 09.00 en 18.00 uur. Op woensdag sluiten we af met een kaarsenwake tussen 16.00 en 18.00 uur. Sinds maart 2011 hebben er in de Tibetaanse regio 10 voorvallen van zelfverbranding plaatsgevonden. 8 in de regio van Ngaba en 2 in de streek van Tawo ( Kardze). Het betreft 9 monniken en 1 non die zichzelf in brand staken . Ze gingen over tot deze extreme wanhoopsdaad om op die manier de aandacht te trekken op de steeds verslechterde en escalerende situatie in Tibet. De Chinese overheid drijft de repressie in de Tibetaanse regio ongenaakbaar op en schendt er massaal de mensrechten. Ondertussen stierven reeds 6 monniken aan hun verwondingen en van de 4 gehospitaliseerden krijgt men geen gegevens over hun toestand noch over de verblijfplaats. Op 27 oktober 2011 nam het Europese Parlement een resolutie over Tibet aan waarin heel duidelijk de grote bezorgdheid van Europa betreffende de zelfverbranding van de monniken en non beschreven staan. Verder veroordeelt het Europees Parlement de zware repressie , het ontbreken van godsdienstvrijheid, de politieke geïnspireerde vervolgingen op éénieder die de Chinese partij ideologie niet volgt. De vervolgingen, de arrestaties en de gewelddadige acties tegenover de Tibetaanse bevolking overal op het Tibetaanse plateau , nemen in de streek van Ngaba énorme proporties aan. Europa roept, via deze resolutie, China op voor het respecteren van de rechten van de Tibetaanse bevolking in alle Chinese provincies en om op een proactieve manier de onderliggende grieven en frustraties van de Tibetaanse bevolking op te lossen. Ook Duitsland, Denemarken en de Verenigde Staten van Amerika hebben openbare en officiële verklaringen afgelegd waarin ze hun grote bezorgdheid uiten over het stijgend aantal zelfverbrandingen in de Tibetaanse regio's in de provincie Sichuan sinds maart 2011. Deze landen vragen uitdrukkelijk aan China om de contraproductieve aanpak tegenover de Tibetaanse bevolking onmiddellijk te stoppen , zodat verder spanningen en wanhoopsdaden kunnen vermeden worden. Helaas ontbreekt het momenteel nog aan een officiële allesomvattende EU verklaring! 5 dagen lang ( 3,4 en 7,8 en 9 november 2011)zullen bovenvernoemde Tibet organisaties samenkomen op het Luxemburg plein voor het Europees Parlement om te bidden, te vasten en om hun solidariteit tonen met de monniken die stierven door zelfopoffering naar aanleiding van de verschrikkelijke situatie in Tibet ten gevolge van de zware Chinese repressie op de Tibetaanse bevolking. De zware escalaties in Sichuan zijn een indicator van het diep repressief klimaat in Tibet vandaag en duiden aan dat er dringend nood is aan internationale actie. Het is een "schreeuw " aan de internationale gemeenschap om China een halt toe te roepen en hen de ogen te openen voor hun falende beleid. Een oproep aan China om de Tibetaanse bevolking en zijn nonnen en monniken ruimte te geven voor het beleven van hun filosofische overtuiging, godsdienst. De demonstranten roepen de Europese Unie op om een publieke verklaring af te leggen waarin heel duidelijk de bezorgdheid met betrekking tot de mensenrechtenschendingen in de provincie Sichuan. De verklaring moet een oproep bevatten waarin China gedwongen wordt onmiddellijk te stoppen met de gruweldaden tegenover de Tibetaanse bevolking zodat een verdere escalatie kan vermeden worden. De demonstranten roepen tegelijkertijd ook de eigen leiders, politici op om tijdens de G20 en de volgende EU-China top, Tibet hoog op de agenda te zetten. Tot slot dringen ze er bij Chinese overheid op aan om de dialoog met de afgevaardigden van de Dalai Lama her op te starten en een garantie te geven voor economische, sociale en religieuze rechten voor de Tibetaanse bevolking .

De aanhoudende belegering van het Kirti-klooster in Tibet en de beperkingen op fundamentele rechten die worden opgelegd door de Chinese autoriteiten, hebben ook Brussel bereikt. Vorige week, op 6 oktober, tijdens een demonstratie van de International Campaign for Tibet en de Tibet support group Belgium: de Vrienden van Tibet,uitten vele verontruste Tibetanen in ballingschap voor het Europees Parlement hun verontwaardiging over de gang van zaken in hun thuisland. Frieda Brepoels, N-VA/EVA Europarlementslid, bezocht de demonstranten en toonde haar bezorgdheid over de snel verslechterende situatie en de ontkenning van de Tibetaanse cultuur en identiteit: "De toenemende zelfverminking en -doding van jonge monniken in Tibet de afgelopen tijd bewijst dat de situatie in de Sichuan provincie, maar ook daarbuiten, steeds schrijnender wordt. Het repressieve klimaat in Tibet vraagt daarom om een eensgezind standpunt van de internationale gemeenschap en de EU waarin van China geëist wordt de Tibetaanse mensenrechten te respecteren. China moet de dialoog met het Tibetaanse volk hervatten en de economische, sociale en culturele rechten van het Tibetaanse volk garanderen. Het land mag dan al een belangrijke handelspartner zijn voor de Europese Unie, dat ontslaat Europa niet van de plicht de Chinese mensenrechtenschendingen in Tibet aan te klagen en echte vrijheid van rechten af te dwingen."  :

 PRESS RELEASE / COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE By the Tibetan Community of Belgium, Vrienden van Tibet and International Campaign for Tibet Demonstration for Tibet Thursday 6 October 2011 - Place du Luxembourg 10H00-14H00 / Brussels Crackdown in Tibet deepens Brussels, 6 October 2011. There is a deepening climate of fear in the Tibetan areas of Sichuan province, as a result of the self-immolation of 5 young monks since March 2011. On 16 March 2011, the 20-year old Kirti monk Phuntsog died after setting fire to himself, leading to the current crackdown in the area. On 26 September, Lobsang Kelsang and Lobsang Kunchok, both believed to be approximately 18-year old, set fire to themselves while shouting "Long live His Holiness the Dalai Lama," in a protest also held in Ngaba county town. On 3 October, 17-year old monk Kelsang Wangchuk immolated himself in Ngaba county town carried a photo of the Dalai Lama and was shouting slogans against the Chinese government when he set fire to himself along the main street in Ngaba county. He is the third monk from Kirti monastery to set fire to himself in the past week. Likewise, in nearby Kardze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan province, a 29-year old monk named Tsewang Norbu died on 15 August after drinking petrol and setting fire to himself while calling for freedom and the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet. According to monks from the re-established Kirti monastery in exile in Dharamsala, India, pamphlets were distributed and posted around Kirti monastery and the market place in Ngaba county town a few days ago, stating that if the current security crackdown in the area were to continue, "many more people were prepared to give up their lives" in protest. Beijing has rejected calls from a U.N. human rights panel to provide information about the whereabouts of more than 300 of Kirti's monks who remain unaccounted for since the monastery was raided in April 2011. China's Foreign Ministry said only that the monks are undergoing "legal education." On 6 October 2011, the Tibetan Community of Belgium and various Tibet support groups will gather in front of the European Parliament to raise awareness about the worrying situation in Tibet towards the European institutions, the media and the public. The escalating situation in Sichuan is an indicator of the deeply repressive climate in Tibet today, and points to the need for the international community to make robust representations to China to address their failed policies, and to urgently allow monks and nuns space to practice their religion. Demonstrators call on the European Union to adopt a public statement on these events urging the Chinese authorities to respect human rights in Sichuan Province as in all other Tibetan areas to prevent an escalation of similar acts. We urge the Chinese government to resume dialogue with the envoys of the Dalai Lama and to guarantee economic, social and cultural / religious rights to the Tibetan people.

An EFA delegation met today with Tibetan protesters and together with them demanded a more vigilant EU position towards the human rights situation in Tibet. The EFA Party, the EFAy youth branch and a delegation of the EFA MEP’s office of François Alfonsi expressed their deep concerns and worries about the deteriorating situation for the Tibetan people, their culture, identity and unique way of life. As a consequence of the continuing siege of the Kirti Monastery and the suffocating restrictions imposed by the Chinese authorities, only this year there have been more than 3 cases of self-immolation, clearly manifesting the despair of the people and the tragedy of the Tibetan nation. EFA not only speaks for the voiceless people of Europe but has always been actively supporting the Tibetan cause and that of many other stateless nations around the world who are facing injustice, discrimination and human rights abuses. EFA MEP François Alfonsi demands, “that the European Union stands up for Tibet. Each time, all over the world, when only an economic logic is followed, people of stateless nations and minorities suffer the consequences. As EU, we cannot remain silent while a cultural genocide is being carried out step by step, day by day. We should take concrete actions in order to stop the Chinese large- scale violations of human rights.” For more information: Günther Dauwen/ Eva Bidania EFA headquarters. info@e-f-a.org , Tel. 0032/2 5133476/ or 4851, www.e-f-a.org The European Free Alliance asbl (EFA) is one of the 11 recognized European Political Parties.

One more monk self-immolates in Tibet 3 okt By Sherab Woeser, Phayul  Norbu Dathul, 19 (left)Kesang Wangchuk He was only 17(right) Shouting "Freedom for Tibet," a 19-year-old Tibetan set himself on fire in the Ngaba (Aba, in Chinese) area in China's southwestern Sichuan province in the eighth self immolation protest this year. Chinese police chased Norbu Dramdul (left) as he ran in flames for a distance before they extinguished the fire, beat him up, bundled him in a police car and sped away, eyewitnesses said. The condition of Dramdul, who lives in Ngaba's Choeje township, is unclear. The incident took place just before noon in Ngaba town. Dramdul is a former monk from Ngaba's Kirti monastery under seige by Chinese security forces since early this year and from where hundreds of monks have been taken away to secret destinations. Most of the previous seven self-immolations were by monks from the Kirti monastery protesting against Chinese rule in Tibetan populated areas and human rights abuses. Stir Dramdul caused a stir among the Ngaba town's pre-noon crowd Sunday when he set himself ablaze, shouted slogans and ran forward, according to eyewitnesses quoted by Tibetan monks Losang Yeshe and Kanyag Tsering from Kirti's sister monastery in Dharamsala, India's hill town. "I heard loud shouts of 'Freedom for Tibet' and 'Let the Dalai Lama return to Tibet' coming from behind me. When I looked back, I saw a person on fire running towards us," one eyewitness said. "As soon as I saw that, I was gripped with fear. His hair was burning and the back of his upper garment burned and fell to the ground in pieces. I could tell that he had long hair and was wearing pale colored pants." "He did not fall to the ground despite being kicked [by policemen] who also tried to douse him with water." Eyewitnesses said the police finally caught up with him, apprehended him and took him away in a car, according to Losang Yeshe and Kanyag Tsering. A huge number of security forces were then deployed around the town center, bringing traffic to a standstill, they said. Fasting The latest self immolation protest came as Tibetans prepared for a day of fasting and prayers on Wednesday. It is to display solidarity in the face of rising Tibetan protests against Chinese rule. The Tibetan government-in-exile in India has called on the United Nations and “freedom-loving countries and people around the world” for increased attention to Tibet following the self-immolation protests. “On October 19, 2011, the Central Tibetan Administration will offer day-long prayers and encourage all Tibetans to fast on that day as a gesture of solidarity with Tibetans in Tibet,” a statement said. Beijing has accused the Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader, of violating Buddhist teachings by not condemning the self-immolations in which four monks have died. “[The Dalai Lama] has said many times in the past that suicidal protests are not something he approves of or wants to encourage,” said Robbie Barnett, director of the Modern Tibetan Studies program at Columbia University. “But he can’t put himself in the position of criticizing people’s right to protest, and he certainly can’t put himself in the position of saying these people don’t experience intolerable pressure … It’s quite clear that they do.” “The obvious solution for this would seem to be for China to talk to the Dalai Lama,” Barnett said. “They are facing a moral crisis, and he’s one obvious person—probably the only one—who could really help them with this." Reported by RFA's Tibetan service. Written in English by Parameswaran Ponnudurai. Radio Free Asia. Before his death, Khayang wrote a letter in hospital saying that he is satisfied that his life has contributed to the Tibetan cause. He said he did not have any regrets and urged his friends, family and fellow Tibetans not to suffer because of his death. The letter has become popular in Ngaba county.11 okt, the Tibet post Chinese repressie op Tibetanen lijdt tot wanhoopsdaden !

Tibet : Other Kirti monks have died in unpublicized suicides tue; 04/10/2011 The weekend protest and the self-immolation Monday heightened tensions which looked set to continue in Tibetan regions of China as the ruling Chinese Communist Party marked its 62nd anniversary in power.The protests came amid a continuing siege of the Kirti Monastery by Chinese authorities launched after monk Phuntsog's self-immolation death.A Kirti monk described the "suffocating restrictions" under which he and other monks at Kirti are forced to live."We cannot communicate with others, and have to get permission from the police to enter and leave the monastery," he said.In addition to the self-immolation protests, other Kirti monks have died in unpublicized suicides, he added, noting that he knew of two such cases himself. "A monk named Jinpa, the brother of my classmate, killed himself with a knife. And a teacher named Jampel Gyatso died in a state of stress and frustration." Similar incidents may have taken place in other monasteries in other regions of Tibet, he said. Kardze has also been the scene of repeated Tibetan protests, both by individuals and by small groups, despite the threat of detentions and violent assaults against protesters by Chinese police. Meanwhile, police in Lhasa had stepped up controls over the city's guesthouses and hotels over the holiday period, local business owners said.

Hu runs South Africa? Not President Zuma 4 October 2011 Vrienden van Tibet has joined with Members of the International Tibet Network, a global coalition of more than 180 Tibet Groups (1), condemns the government of South Africa for its failure to issue a visa to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama had been due to travel to South Africa on Thursday 6 October to attend the 80th birthday celebrations of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In a statement issued today, the Dalai Lama's Bureau in New Delhi said "We are... convinced that for whatever reason or reasons, the South African government finds it inconvenient to issue visa to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.... His Holiness has thus decided to call off his upcoming visit to South Africa. And, he regrets the inconveniences caused to his hosts and the large number of South African public who were keenly waiting to receive him and hear his message." "Hu runs South Africa?" asked Inge Hermans of Vrienden van Tibet. "It would appear to be Hu Jintao, not President Zuma. We demand that the South African government issue a statement concerning its decision, to prove that it has not kowtowed to China's over-bearing influence. In this matter, the South African government has behaved no differently from China, a country of secrets, lies and an iron fist." Inge Hermans added. An example of those lies is the statement made in 2009 by Minister for International Relations, Ms Maite Nkoana-Mashabane who said that the Dalai Lama was more than free, like any other citizen of the globe, who would want to visit South Africa. (2) "It's time for South Africa to reassess its relationship with China, and ask if it is worth the damage to its reputation that sorry episodes such as this have inflicted" said Inge Hermans Notes: 1.Vrienden van Tibet is a member of the International Tibet Network is a global coalition of Tibet-related non-governmental organisations. Its purpose is to maximise the effectiveness of the worldwide Tibet movement, which is dedicated to ending human rights violations in Tibet and to working actively to restore the Tibetan people's right under international law to determine their future political, economic, social, religious and Cultural status.

Occasionally, the soldiers of peace suffer a setback, but eventually, freedom triumphs over oppression. Last week, after four decades of oppressing his people, Colonel Gadhafi fled Tripoli, the Libyan capital. He is believed to be hiding in Bani Walid, his original hometown and now his final holdout. In their rush to vacate Tripoli, Gadhafi’s security officials made a careless mistake. They discarded government files – including a military shopping list – near a garbage pile on the side of the road. One of the partially destroyed documents found by a Canadian journalist proves that in July, state-owned Chinese military firms offered to sell $200 million worth of weapons to Gadhafi. China’s foreign ministry has tried to claim that Beijing didn’t know about the offers. But these firms are state-owned and state-run; their executives are hired and fired by Beijing. The fact that just last month, China was engaged in arms sales to Gadhafi, after signing the UN arms embargo on Libya in February, reveals the hypocrisy at the heart of China’s authoritarian regime. Tibetans know better than anyone that Beijing specializes in signing a peace deal with one hand while pulling the trigger with the other. There is no question that China’s leaders wanted Gadhafi to remain in power. Propping up other dictatorships not only advances China’s strategic interests in those countries, but also provides cover for China’s own authoritarian system at home and on the international stage. This is why we see Beijing using its financial and political clout to support the world’s most bloody tyrants – from Burma, to North Korea, to Sudan, to Libya. The Chinese government has become the lifeline of dictatorships around the world. However, the tide has begun to turn against them. First Ben Ali, then Mubarak, and now Gadhafi… day by day, there are fewer dictators and tyrants left. In a world where the tide of freedom is rising against the dams of repression, China’s leaders know their days are numbered. Ultimately, when people withdraw their consent to be ruled and become uncontrollable, even in small ways in their daily lives, no amount of military might or political force can stop them. Since 2008 we’ve seen Tibetans harnessing this power by engaging in small acts of non-cooperation with the Chinese state. In this emerging movement lies the potential of a powerful popular struggle gaining a foothold in Tibet. There is no denying that the winds of change from the Middle East are blowing over the Himalayas, and Tibetans are drawing inspiration from the Arab Spring. As certainly as the life of dictators and “strongmen” come to an end, so too will the one-party rule of the Chinese government. Ultimately, oppression in all forms is impermanent. Another town in eastern Tibet is under siege - and your help is urgently needed. Thousands of Chinese soldiers armed with tanks and cannons have locked down the town of Tawu, and at least three Tibetans have been arbitrarily arrested. China's attacks closely follow the self-immolation and tragic death of 29-year-old Tibetan monk, Tsewang Norbu, from Nyitso monastery in Tawu County (Ch: Daofu) in Kham, eastern Tibet. All access to and from the monastery is being tightly controlled by armed troops. TAKE ACTION: Sign the petition demanding an end to China's assault on Tawu and for the release of those detained. China's leaders are trying to block the world from witnessing its crackdown in Tawu. Help stop the campaign of terror by shining a spotlight of scrutiny on China's top officials. The repression in Tawu must not go unnoticed. Monks imprisoned for 10-13 years following self-immolation by Kirti monk | International Campaign fo www.savetibet.org 
Today is the last day to tell World Gold Council that Tibet's Gold = Conflict Gold Read more about WORLD GOLD COUNCIL their new CONFLICT – FREE GOLD STANDARD Introduction: Conflict-Free Gold Standard Responsibly run companies, operating in a conflict-affected or high-risk environment can play a powerful and positive socio-economic role. In contrast, stopping operations can cause greater instability as livelihoods are destroyed and economic progress stifled. Where a mine is located in a conflict or high-risk zone focus moves to whether the company has the right policies, systems and skills to enable it to operate in conformance with leading international benchmarks. The draft standard has three pillars: a ‘conflict’; a ‘company’; and a ‘commodity’ assessment. The draft standard contains a demanding framework of benchmarks and prompts through which companies must assess the adequacy of their systems and analyse their impacts upon those around them. Their conclusions must be auditable. The standard is underpinned by a declaration of principles which includes implementing companies’ commitment to: respect human rights; ensure that payments are not made, directly or indirectly, to armed groups; be transparent about their payments to governments; only accept gold from conforming sources; and to establish a credible and accessible grievance mechanism.
