16 years ago, on this day China ruthlessly massacred her own children who were asking for Freedom and Democracy. Tiananmen Square Massacre remains the biggest blot on Humanity – evidence of suppression of human struggle for freedom. The Tibetan people stand with the Chinese youth today looking for a Free and Democratic China.
We understand the Chinese people’s craving for Freedom and Democracy as we are ourselves a colony to the imperialist and corrupt communist regime. As we offer our solidarity with the common people of China, we ask them to understand the Tibetan people’s suffering under China and our yearning for a Free Tibet. So long as this corrupt communist regime lives on, more than one quarter of humanity will be forever in pain and suffering.
Students for a Free Tibet (INDIA), Regional Tibetan Youth Congress Dharamsala, and Friends of Tibet (INDIA) commemorate the 16th anniversary of TIANANMEN Square Massacre, where at the alter of Democracy thousands of Chinese laid their lives.
