Since
China invaded Tibet in 1950, its centuries old traditions, its culture,
language, its environment & wildlife have been under threat. Tibet’s
religion – the very soul of Tibet is similarly threatened.
Over 130,000 Tibetan’s now live
outside their country, with more fleeing across the Himalayas every year.
The Tibet Site has been launched by
ethical WARES www.ethicalwares.com
to help publicise this great injustice and to show our support for the
Tibetan people.
The Tibetan people have been left seemingly
almost alone, in their peaceful struggle to regain their independence
from one of the most powerful countries in the world today.
To be a Tibetan living in Tibet today
is to be a second-class citizen in your own country. The dignity with
which they seek their independence should be an inspiration to us all.
So, welcome to the Tibet Site, and
onwards to a free Tibet.

| On the 30th
September 2006, Chinese troops opened fire on a group of about
70 Tibetans fleeing their country into Nepal over the Nangpa
la Pass. At least 2 of the group were killed, a 17 year old
nun Kelsang Namtso and a 20 year old youth.

Also
China has invited foreign energy companies to explore for oil
in the Qiantany Basin in the far north of Tibet.
10 exploration blocks are to be offered after the partly
state owned PetroChina company encountered difficulties in
its own efforts to drill for oil.
Once again China is all set to steal the natural resources
of Tibet to meet its own economic needs.
All friends of Tibet will be watching with interest to see
if any Western oil firms are greedy enough to get involved
in this shameful venture.
