Why Tibet?
In 1950, the communist Chinese military invaded Tibet, taking forceful control of the people, the land, and the culture. Since this time, Tibetans have endured tyrannical oppression, torture, famine, genocide, and persecution of every type - continuing up to this very moment. Their religion, ecology, society, language, and traditions lie at the mercy of the Chinese leaders. An illegal population transfer of Chinese immigrants has rendered Tibetans the minority in their own country. Rich in natural, spiritual, and cultural resources, Tibet warrants the attention of the world spotlight. A victory for Tibet is a victory for all oppressed people - many who suffer under the same Chinese regime.
