#12013-05-15 07:09The PRC elites' decision to destroy heritage for the purpose of their own self-aggrandizement is an embarrassment and displays the true face of their deliberate hypocrisy. While the PRC touts its cultural diversity, it thoughtlessly exploits what treasures are left only to line the pockets of its elite. This is completely unacceptable. |

#22013-05-15 07:52Petition: HS comment : This new phase of destruction of the historic city of Lhasa and especially the Jokhang Temple, the most holy site of Central Asian and Tibetan Buddhism, is a direct attack on the heart of Tibetan civilisation. Tibetans everywhere must be deeply shocked and distressed. What would China say if the Mongols came back and destroyed the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Temple of Heaven? What would Europe and the world say if St Peters in Rome or Notre Dame in Paris were pulled down? What would Islam say if the Mecca were attacked? What would the Jewish people say if Jerusalem was turned into a Disneyland? The Chinese people have an ancient culture. Do they still not understand that other peoples have rich and ancient cultures that have equal right to respect and protection? How long will it take before they realise that theirs is not the only civilisation on earth? The diversity of human creativity over thousands of years on this planet is an irreplacable treasure. Why can't UNESCO do something! How come the Chinese are incapable of respecting their own Constitution with regard to the nationalities? |

#42013-05-15 12:56Mr president xi, I hope you are an open minded as your father and the then leaders like Huyou Pang. Lhasa is the capital city Tibet, your regime must respect it's ancient city and it's people the Tibetans. You must stop to destroy Tibetan culture and stop as soon as possible to suppress on the simple minority. Tibetan people one of the most simple and compassionate people around the world and people of world recognize so. Trust is the most important to be a genuine friendship and harmony society, H.H.The Dalai Lama and Tibetan people inside and outside demand a genuine autonomy within the frame of pec's constitution. Come on the table to negotiate through non violence principle and talk face by face if you are really an open minded leader. Stop to implement wrong policy of 60yrs of your regime on Tibetans.!!!!!! |

#82013-05-15 19:28That scholars of Tibet should be primarily concerned with destruction in Tibet is understandable, but UNESCO's complete incompetence in enforcing the terms of the World Heritage convention to which China is a state party go back a long way, and not only in Lhasa, but at almost every single site in China which has attained World Heritage listing. |

#9 Tibet Scholars Petition2013-05-15 21:30Many scholars have signed this petition from a variety of universities, which is great. However, there is not a single signature from a university that prides itself with the Tibetan Studies Program - Columbia University! Do they know something more / other than we do, or is it just a matter of time that they also join this string of responses? Inviting Robbie Barnett, Lauran Hartley, the Tibetans working in the Tibetan Studies field, etc. to sign! |

#142013-05-16 07:13Never too late to stop what is happening elsewhere in Tibet regarding both destructive tangible and untangible issues such as Tibetan language and vanity making up of Tibetan cities. It wound not take long before any Tibetans in Tibet can recognize their own native land and speack their own language. Just stop now but from top can make difference only. |
