\u201cI have no hope for the future,\u201d<\/span><\/span> says Lhasang Tsering, one of Tibet\u2019s most famous activists. We are speaking in his home in Dharamsala, where he has lived in exile since fleeing Tibet more than two decades ago. \u201cTime is running out,\u201d he tells me. \u201cEvery day, while we\u2019re sitting here praying for world peace, truckloads of Chinese are coming in, and trainloads of Tibetan resources are coming out.<\/span> <\/span>Once the Chinese have the land for themselves, they might have a few reservations for ethnic Tibetans, the way you Americans have Native American reservations.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n Tsering puts his head in his hands. I look away. When I glance back, his shoulders are heaving with sobs.<\/span><\/span> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n This, from a recent Rolling Stone Article \u201cThe end of Tibet\u201d<\/a>, well portrays the situation both in Tibet and the growing exile community. It also reminds us of just how delicate anything like a \u2018moral high ground\u2019 might be.<\/p>\n Please take a look at the article and consider writing your congressperson<\/a>, donating time or money to a Free Tibet<\/a> campaign, or anything else you can think of to increase awareness and hopefully bring an end to this terrible situation\u2026<\/p>\n Dear Mr. Baucus, (CC John Tester, Dennis Rehberg)<\/p>\n The Rolling Stone recently published a story detailing the ongoing misery of both the people of Tibet and the growing refugee population in exile. As you probably know, it was <\/span>just 4 months ago that Chinese boarder guards shot and killed two Tibetans en route to see their spiritual leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama<\/span><\/span>. One of those killed was a 17 year old nun.<\/p>\n The article is definitely worth the read, even if it is very difficult at times: descriptions of rape and torture of Tibetan nuns and monks, some beaten to death simply for refusing to renounce Buddhism<\/a>.<\/p>\n
