The Story of TIBET
Since 1949 Tibet is under Chinese occupation. In 1959 His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader, has escaped together with 10,000 refugees to India. There, he established his government in exile.

It is impossible to estimate how many Tibetans were killed under the Chinese regime. There is plenty of evidence to massacres in villages and in concentration camps. Tens of thousands more died because of famine.

During the campaign to destroy Tibetan identity, most of the monasteries were plundered and destroyed. Most of the monks' scriptures were destroyed in the process. Monks and nuns throughout Tibet were forced to alienate themselves from their spiritual leader, HH the Dalai Lama, and to declare allegiance to the Chinese regime.

Today, the Tibetans live in there county under constant threat of arrest, deportation to a labor camp or torture. Reason for an arrest could be even a possession of the Dalai Lama's photograph, or a conversation with a tourist.

One method for birth control policy enforced on the Tibeta people by the regime is sterilization. In some regions of Tibet up to 80% of the women have been sterilized.
