"There are no human rights in Tibet, no freedom in Tibet and no freedom of speech in Tibet. So Tibet is very controlled ... These days, China is destroying the Tibetan cultural identity," said Tsundu Oser, President of the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress escaped across the Himalayan Mountains, into India.
On behalf of 3000 Tibetans who live in Sydney areas and the six million people of Tibet as well as our supporters across the world, we felt grateful that you all are joining us once again, this time commemorating the 60th anniversary of Tibetan National Uprising in the Capital of Tibet Lhasa, protesting against Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959, he added.

Over hundred Tibetans and supporters participated in a peace march from Martin place in Wynyard to the office of the Chinese consulate in Sydney and this event was organised by the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress (RTYC) of NSW. March 10 is the 60th anniversary of an abortive 1959 uprising against Chinese represive rule in Tibet.

The Chinese Communist totalitarian regime began their invasion of Tibet in 1949, reaching complete occupation of the country in 1959. Since that time, more than 1.2 million people, 20% of the nation's population of six million, have died as a direct result of China's invasion and occupation. In addition, over 99% of Tibet's six thousand religious monasteries, temples, and shrines, have been looted or decimated resulting in the destruction of hundreds of thousands of sacred Buddhist scriptures.

(to dignify such lunacy and Chinese propaganda with a Washington Post article is quite absurd and incomprehensible, really...)
