Free Tibet PDF Print E-mail

For centuries Tibet, a vast high altitude plateau between China and India, was an independent nation with its own flag, currency, culture and religion. In 1949, following the foundation of the Chinese Communist state, the People's Liberation Army invaded Tibet and soon overpowered its the poorly equipped nation. In March 1959, Tibetans unsuccesfully rose up against the China but the Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama, was forced to flee to India. Approximately 6,000 monasteries, nunneries and temples, have been destroyed since the Chinese invasion and repression of Tibet's culture and religion continues today.
