Video Shows China’s Brutal Crackdown in Tibet

[youtube R0zbIQdDylg ]

A brilliant Tibetan friend of mine who prefers to remain anonymous passionately responded to the video as follows:

I almost cried when I saw this. I’m speechless right now, about how incredibly powerful this video is. I really don’t know what to say… Tibetans on horseback, unarmed, risking their lives to tear down the Chinese flag and fly the Tibetan flag — to quote Tendor on Mt. Everest, “This is Tibet and I’m a Tibetan.” Wow.

And the Chinese soldiers’ response… so brutal… troops, death, guns, overwhelming force. I am overcome by the contrast between the unarmed Tibetans rallying for their country, and the massive armed might of the Chinese army.How can the world sit by without helping?

…And yet, despite all that force, the Tibetan protests go on. That is true courage and determination. It is the power to bring down empires. And that is what we’re seeing in Tibet. History is being made. Tibet will be free.
