freedoms and rights for the Tibetan people for days in Tibet protests break out of a legitimate peaceful people, harassed and trampled by the brutal occupation of Chinese troops that lasted for about sixty years, that seeks to safeguard its identità.Dalle few articles and images that leaked from the thick curtain media censorship imposed by Beijing (the Internet site Youtube has been closed to hide the Chinese people during the massacres, and also many tourists and foreign journalists were expelled from the country) we learn that the entire region is in place a real their repression by military force of spontaneous demonstrations carried out by young monks and civilians, helpless before the slow death of a popolo.Nelle streets of Lhasa, the historic capital of Tibetan culture and site of major Buddhist monasteries, the rage of the Chinese army and the police tracked will take care of mopping up and fire on demonstrators took to the streets and piazze.Il Tibetan Government in Exile is about hundreds of civilian casualties, while according to the Chinese government, the deaths caused by fighting, would be unlikely 13.Di face of these renewed violence perpetrated by the communist authorities has raised a strong voice of protest and indignation with demonstrations and sit-in in front of Chinese embassies around the back mondo.Si is also talk of a possible boycott of the upcoming Olympic Games to be held this summer in Pechino.Se this threat was sufficient by itself to the Chinese government to impose effective observance of human rights of minorities, all democratic countries would be called to take that road. Unfortunately, the history of boycotts of U.S. cross-Soviet Moscow 1980 Olympics Los Angeles 1984 and has shown how the policy should, for the good of the sport, to refrain from easy conditions for most are incapable of achieving concrete results. Therefore, as stated by the Dalai Lama, the games are celebrated regularly, but without defezioni.Ciò that can not be understated is the desperate cry of a people, now resigned to the impossibility to regain its independence, which only asks for can continue to exist through the granting of a religious and cultural autonomy within the borders and sovereignty of the Republic of China. For decades, the Beijing authorities instead of trying to wipe out the Tibetan identity through the denial of freedom of worship (In 1995, the Chinese control on Tibetan Buddhism has come to determine the "real" Panchen Lama, eliminating the one recognized by the Dalai Lama. From Last September, in addition, all reincarnations of the Buddha, including that of the Dalai Lama himself, to be "true," must be approved by the Communist Party), the denial of religious and Tibetan language, the prohibition of any display or praise of the Dalai Lama, the ironclad control over monasteries and civil society through the deployment of more than 100 000 soldiers of the central government in the region, the policy of mass transfer of Chinese into Tibet, which reduced the native population a minority in their own country (if before the Communist occupation of Tibet in 1949-50 there was no presence of Chinese, the Tibetan government in exile estimates that today there are 7.5 million non-Tibetans present introduced by the Chinese government to nationalize the region, compared to 6 million Tibetans.) The same economic development in recent years imposed by the Chinese authorities with the construction of the railway Qingzang, that connects Lhasa with Beijing in 40 hours, which should facilitate the influx of people from other Chinese provinces, the massive presence in the region of Chinese scientists in the search for intent mines copper, uranium and aluminum, the transformation of the city's urban old Lhasa with the demolition of old buildings to make room for new Tibetan areas of China, appears to mirror and be linked to cultural genocide that China intends to pursue against the ethnic tibetana.Il Western world which has always been the promoter of respect for the values democracy, freedom, human rights, but also for reasons of economic opportunity, has never found the strength to enforce it outside its borders, can not refrain from taking a clear and uncompromising position against Cina.Al Prodi government in the past has shown little political sensitivity and excessive "subservience" towards the giant with almond eyes, refusing any kind of relationship with the highest political authority of the Tibetan diaspora, a man with a pace that the Dalai Lama, treating it almost like an unwanted guest during his stay in Italy, is now asking for a condemnation of the violence and a concrete diplomatic action, including at European level, so that the logic of force, oppression and massacres by Beijing gives way to a peaceful and constructive dialogue with the Tibetans, in the interest of China itself, which aspires to become a modern country and must demonstrate that even in respect of human rights and freedom.
