Situation in Tibet

Tibet was once a free land where the people were highly religious who believe in peace and harmony. Since China occupied Tibet in 1959, the situation in Tibet has changed dramatically. The outcome of which can be seen today.
Right now the situation in Tibet is very bad. Tibetans in Tibet are in big fear and trauma for losing their loved once. Yet, they don’t hesitate to take part in the protest because they have seen too much of China’s brutality towards them. On March 10, 2008 riot broke out in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, to perform the uprising day for the Tibetans. Tibetans are known for being calm and forgiving, but on that day Tibetans really got emotional and showed their anger. They started damaging anything that is owned by Chinese. In this process they did not hurt any civilians. The reason behind this protest was to stop the killings in Tibet and freedom for Tibet. Tibetans all over the world are protesting for the same reason.
Chinese government has stated that His Holiness The Dalai Lama has provoked his people to go on protest against China. But that is not true. He has always been a man of peace and harmony who believe in negotiation. He asked the journalist that Chinese officials can investigate his office in exile and all the speeches he has made, and said that they will not find anything that relates to what the Chinese government is blaming him for. He said they are all baseless.
