Tibet: Let Us Not Forget.

From: John Copperthwaite, St Chad’s Road, Far Headingley.
Over one million people murdered; more than 6,000 monasteries destroyed; whole forests and land laid to waste; houses destroyed; villages flattened; water wells deliberately contaminated beyond use; parents tortured and killed in front of their children; language and culture outlawed and ancient scriptures and valuable artefacts stolen or destroyed. Fantasy? No, this is the reality of the Chinese occupation of Tibet since 1949 – and we in the West continue to trade with and encourage this evil regime. It beggars belief. (Yorks. Post)
