Woeser on Chinese Brutality

Tibetan blogger Woeser has a post with a great deal of background information connected to a recent video release from the Tibetan Government in Exile of footage from China’s brutal crackdown on Tibetans following the spring 2008 national uprising. Woeser’s original post is here. The China Digital Times has translated it. Woeser gives great detail on the beating, torture, and eventual murder of a young Tibetan named Tendar, who worked for  a mobile phone company in Lhasa.  She closes her post with a plea to the world:

June 19, the day the innocent Tibetan youth Tendar died a cruel death, was the day before the Beijing Olympic Torch arrived in Lhasa.

How many other Tibetans are locked away behind dark curtains, who like Tendar, suffered a cruel, inhumane violent treatment at the hands of the government’s state apparatus? How many more Tibetan tragedies are there that the world doesn’t know about? People of conscience, if they still have a conscience, please speak out about the tragic fate of the Tibetan people!
