My focus today is on something I hold dear to my heart and that's the Tibetan culture and its people. Uproar in China is what I am calling for! International pressure is also needed! While the government in China commits human crimes against their own people, we are losing sight of the real danger. That danger is very real to Tibetans in refuge. 

Imagine if Canada decided to take over New York and oppress its citizens to the point of even committing genocide. Yet the international community remains quiet hoping no one ask why they (the UN) are not getting involved to stop these inhuman actions. I guess the international community believes since the blood is not in their hands there is no reason to act, but it’s at all our feet endangering everything good humans should be standing for. 

In a society so caught up with profits and scams we have lost our ability to feel compassion, love and understanding. The Tibetans continue to disappear and the Chinese government is behind it. How could we as a society of people sit and watch a beautiful country like Tibet become imprisoned by another country. It doesn't matter whether they were tortured and let go this is not a way to treat each other. 

I can’t believe that the Chinese people are not standing up for basic human rights and the freedom of Tibet. Does any of that sound right! Come on and fight, for we could be next. Let’s encourage another Tiananmen Square protests like the one in 1989 here,  and everywhere there’s injustice. Everyone deserves to live a free life without prosecution.  

“Some people just for standing up get imprisoned but it was said best by the Tibetan blog which stated " Any demand for freedom or expression of opposition to the Chinese government is met with the harshest of punishment in Tibet. In years past China executed people for their beliefs, and today thousands are imprisoned and tortured. This group is made up of Tibetans old and young, men and women from various social standings. For Tibetans and free loving people all over the world, they are the Tibetan Heroes." Despite facing the constant threat of imprisonment, many political prisoners continue to engage in defiant yet non-violent actions against the Chinese regime. This is a testament to their bravery and a confirmation for the rest of us that the Tibetan struggle cannot be tortured away. Moreover, actions of the Tibetan Heroes inspire, courage, and inject activism in the Tibetans to stand up against oppression. “….Tibet's Heroes; My Heroes by Tenzin Jigme

Maybe we should take note of these true heroes cause one day we might need to become more like they are. Stand up and fight for what’s right.
