-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  • TIBET •China today refers to Tibet as the "Tibet Autonomous Region" or "TAR". Tibet is "autonomous" in word only; in fact, while Chinese laws on regional ethnic autonomy contain provisions that could benefit Tibetans and their culture, Beijing's implementation of these laws largely negates their potential value and the "TAR" has less autonomy than Chinese provinces. China continues to severely restrict the rights of Tibetans to exercise constitutionally guaranteed human rights, including the freedoms of speech, press, association, and belief. Amy Cooper - Why we can't turn our backs on Tibet (...) As a news journalist I'd worked in countries with repressive regimes before, but the pervasive fear and paranoia among Tibetans was the worst I'd encountered. The government's iron grip was often insidious, embedded in rules and regulations, exercised through a complex system of informants working in monasteries and Tibetan areas, and therefore often undetectable to tourists.

Past human rights issues include the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, when 2000-3000 civilians were killed and thousands more were injured. Multiple sources, including the U.S. State Department's annual People's Republic of China human rights reports, as well as studies from other groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have documented the PRC's abuses of human rights in violation of internationally recognized norms. In March, 2004, an amendment was made to the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, stating "The State respects and preserves human rights". In addition, China was dropped from a list of top 10 human rights violators in the annual human rights report released by the U.S. State Department in 2008, while the report indicated that there were still widespread problems in China. — Annual Reports of 'Amnesty International' and 'Human Rights Watch' — Overview of China Rights Developments — Stop HIV, Not People Living With HIV — Death Penalty in China — The Real China and the Olympics "What the communists fear most is the Chinese people's understanding where their interests are and where their power lies. Once the people understand this and unite, the government won't be able to oppress them." ~ Wei Jingshen — Conversation with Wei Jingsheng about Democracy (Chinese Human Rights activist) — The Gulja massacre - China's crackdown on peaceful protesters — 8 things you have to know about China — Nine Commentaries on the Communist party (exceprts) — 28 Million Chinese quit Communist Party In China, most people know about the double personalities of CCP members. In private settings, CCP members are ordinary human beings with feelings of happiness, anger, sorrow and joy. They possess ordinary human beings’ merits and shortcomings. They may be parents, husbands, wives, or friends. But placed above human nature and feelings is the Party nature, which, according to the requirements of the Communist Party, transcends humanity. Thus, humanity becomes relative and changeable, while Party nature becomes absolute, beyond any doubt or challenge. The communist party (itself) is a kind of being. However, it opposes nature, heaven, earth and mankind. It is an evil specter against the universe. (epochtimes - Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party - Part 1/III,V)  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For people in Tibet the situation is even worse, different to the people in China (who in most cases like their leaders, just can't agree with their politics..) there's an overall bad attitude towards the Chinese invaders (see Tibet and/or the Reports). Democracy in China is needed to create a change! There's something like a so-called "democratic process" going on in China, but how many generations would this process last and is it actually really achievable in this way?! There have been growing far too many lies to the Chinese people that their leaders surely wouldn't admit them easily, not in a measurable time. Something needs to be done, the question is just how and what. This group is a start on flickr. With this group I want to point to things about what's been going on, in and around China, especially for the Chinese that can't access to any of those sources (so I mostly might just copy passages of different sources). It should also be about what's going to happen in the next time, especially short before the Olympic Games in Beijing and also hope to give some space for communication of any kind.
