European Parliament Calls Out China on Repression in Tibet!

[Pieter Terpstra]

In a resolution passed by a majority of votes, members of the European Parliament called on China on Thursday to
respect provisions in its own constitution guaranteeing the rights of Tibetans and other Chinese citizens to
freedom of speech, religious belief, and assembly, including the right to criticize or protest against state policy.

The resolution adopted by the parliament--the Strasbourg, France-based legislative body of the European Union’s 28
member states--took particular note of the case of Tibetan shopkeeper Tashi Wangchuk, now facing a 15-year prison
term for his advocacy for Tibetan language rights.

Also noted for special attention was the case of the Tibetan monk Choekyi, jailed in 2015 for celebrating the
birthday of exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, with the European Parliament calling for the “immediate and
unconditional” release of both men.

In an interview with RFA’s Tibetan Service, Michaela Sojdorva—vice chair of the Czech delegation from the
European People’s Party Group and a co-author of the resolution—said, “We are really afraid for the lives of these
men,” noting that Choekyi in particular is reported to be in failing health in prison.

Speaking by phone, Sojdorva repeated the parliament’s call in the document for Beijing to engage in talks with the
Dalai Lama aimed at peacefully resolving the issue of Tibet, where the parliament noted in its resolution that
Chinese criminal law “is being abused to persecute Tibetans and Buddhists, whose religious activities are equated
with separatism.”

“We reiterate the call on the government of the People’s Republic of China to engage with His Holiness the Dalai
Lama through dialogue and negotiation with a view to guaranteeing Tibet genuine autonomy within the framework
of the constitution of the People’s Republic of China,” Sojdorva said.

“We urge the Chinese authorities to immediately release all human rights defenders, and we call on the Chinese
government to respect its own constitution with regard in particular to the protection of national minorities,” she
said.

Calling on the European Union to regularly raise the issue of human rights violations in China in its dialogues
with the country, the parliament urged in the adopted resolution “a strong, clear and unified voice in its approach.”

“China has opted into the international human rights framework by signing up to a wide range of international
human rights treaties,” the resolution noted.

“[The European Parliament] calls, therefore, for dialogue to be pursued with China in order to honor these
commitments.”

Tibet is like what East Timor was like 15 years ago.

East Timor was until 15 years was suffering from the plight of their own
after their forced invasion by the dead president Suharto of Indonesia in
the last 35 years.

There is a need to let Tibet and themselves open to outside world to view
and talk to them so that their whatever can be resolved and listened to.

More propaganda by brainwashed Peter...

Yale Guen Mar (posting under the fake name of Resty Wyse), you have a very dirty brain. You can do with some brainwashing.

But better control of your excretions is just as important.

Yale Guen Mar, you have ceased to care about anything else other than earning 50 cents per post. You don't even care to ask your caregiver, Meichi Thai, to to change you into a fresh diaper a lot more often even as you continue to have "accidents" on Ms. Rolida Lee's reclining char and Mr. Ravinder Singh's sofa.

Over-soiled diapers are bound to leak, Yale Guen Mar. Do something about your leaky diapers.

Well you can do something about it. Ask Meichi Thai to provide you with double protection every time you venture out of 3851 Twilight Avenue in Merced, CA. Have her insert a made-in-Portugal cork inside your asshole before she puts in diaper. That might result in less leakage from your diaper in public places.

Yale Guen Mar, your Hmong neighbors on Twilight Avenue in Merced, CA fear that you are turning your neighborhood into a health hazard. It might indeed be the most dangerous part of California for the inhabitants.

Yale Guen Mar, you should admit that you are hygienically challenged. It will be a good start to effectively control the ill-effects of your non-functioning sphincter muscle.

Yale Guen Mar, you need to add corks and diapers in your inventory to prevent the degradation of the environment in the neighborhood of 3851 Twilight Avenue in Merced, CA.

Yale Guen Mar, it is important for you to follow instructions of your caregiver, Meichi Thai.

Yale Guen Mar, you have neither a functioning brain nor a functioning penis.

In fact, even your asshole has issues with a non-functioning sphincter muscle.

Yale Guen Mar, how many different ways do you wear your diaper? None seems to work.

You continue to soil:

* Rolida Lee's reclining chair

* Ravinder Singh's sofa

Needless to say, you continue to soil your own bed.

It is time you analyze why your diapers fail to prevent you from wreaking havoc on yourself and on your neighbors.

Yale Guen Mar, your caregiver Meichi Thai has been very specific about what you are allowed to do and what you are not allowed to do. That's the only way she can manage to give you efficient care.

In view of your incontinence, You have been instructed to keep your butt glued to your bed pan at all times.

Meichi Thai wants you to do Tai Chi without moving away your asshole from the bed pan - by just moving your head, hands and legs but not your butt.

Make life easier for Meichi Thai by sticking to Tai Chi the way she wants you to do it.

Yale Guen Mar, do you know your greatestr problem?

You are unwanted by your Hmong neighbors, and rightfully so.

But they are a gentle people. That is why they are trying to get rid of you in a way that will be least excruciating. In fact, it will be to your benefit to move out from Twilight Avenue in Merced, CA.

Rolida Lee and other Hmong neighbors have raised a fund to finance your relocation to Cambodia so that you can get alternate medicine treatment from Dr. Long Dong for your infected middle fingers and also your bipolar disorder.

Yes, there os a catch. To avail yourself of that fund, you'll have to promise your Hmong neighbors never to come back to Merced, CA or even to the USA for that matter.

Yale Guen Mar, go for it. This is an offer that is as generous as it can get.

Tibet is like what East Timor was like 15 years ago.
East Timor was until 15 years was suffering from the plight of their own
after their forced invasion by the dead president Suharto of Indonesia in
the last 35 years.
There is a need to let Tibet and themselves open to outside world to view
and talk to them so that their whatever can be resolved and listened to.

Tibet is nothing like East Timor. Tibetans are living much better than ever, happy where they are today. Only brainwashed fools who kept on harping on revolt and chaos around the world are saying otherwise.

[moses]

Harping on revolt and chaos was exactly what happened to EastTimor which was
closed out to any people from outside world.

Even their own Indonesian people to the province is forbidden. The East
Timor is ruled by military governor.

Likewise, Tibet is closed up province which most of the time is also closed
to its Chinese nationals from other provinces.

Only special visa approved tourists from outside world can visit for tourism
purposes.

If outside world of people found that Tibet is cut off from them, there is
always the presumption that the Chinese authorities is giving them a hard
time of restriction of movements and speeches, too.

Therefore it is needed for the Chinese communist party to allay the
presumption by opening more months in Tibet for travellers to look and see
how their Tibetans were complaining of their woes.

This also will present the media from writing speculative stories of them.

Transparency is key to this.

Boy!!! You are brainwashed bwyond belief!!!!
Tibet has airports and bullet trains.
Tibet is just another province of China. People come and go as they please. There are American-own hotels in Tibet.

One can booked hotel. But the one who booked have to fulfil the Chinese
restrictions to Tibet.

Here are the requisites to Tibet:
https://www.chinahighlights.com/tibet/travel-tips.htm

1. Plan in advance — at least 20 days before your departure.

Calender:

All Tibet tours must be booked at least 20 days in advance. It normally
takes 2–3 days to confirm hotel bookings, and about a further 10 days for
the Tibet Tourism Bureau to issue the Tibet Entry Permit.

You should make sure you secure an Entry Permit, especially if new
restrictions are brought in, before you apply for a visa and make the final
preparations for your trip, unless you are willing to consider alternatives
to Tibet once you arrive in China.

Recommended duration for a Tibet trip: If your travel will be limited to
areas around Lhasa, 4 days is enough; if you want to go to Mt. Everest, you
need at least a week.

2. You need a Tibet Entry Permit to enter Tibet.

Tibet entry permit:

All non-Chinese passport holders need a Tibet Entry Permit to visit Tibet,
and the only way to enter Tibet is to travel in groups.

No individual travelers are allowed to travel to Tibet at the moment. All
tours must be booked in advance by a Chinese travel agency, like us. Your
whole tour in Tibet must be accompanied by a licensed tour guide.

The Tibet Entry Permit is very important. It will be checked at the train
station/airport, when you enter attractions in Tibet, and even when you
check in to a hotel. So take care of it.

See How to Apply for a Tibet Travel Permit

3. Choose the best time to go — May to October.

Mount Everest in August

In general, the best time to visit Tibet is from May to October when the
weather is comfortable and oxygen content higher. This is Tibet’s high
travel season.

You may consider visiting Tibet in the low season to enjoy a less-crowded
trip and various discounts.

February and March Closed

Tibet is usually closed for most of February and March for the politically
sensitive time of Tibetan New Year. So we suggest you to plan a Tibet tour
from April 10th onwards to be on the safe side.

Usually it takes about 5 working days to apply for the permits, so the
earliest dates you are suggested to entry Tibet after the Tibetan New Year
closure are from:

April 5th by train (Use permit scans we send you.)

April 10th by flight (Extra time is needed for mail delivery, because
original permits must be checked.)

Read more on Tibet weather.

4. Pack/carry/wear what you need.

Package Clothes:

Warm clothes, such as sweaters and fleeces are needed even in summer as the
day-night temperature drop is big.

A thick down coat is essential if you go to Everest. If you go in the low
season bring mountain winter clothes.

Bring sunglasses and sunscreen to protect you from strong sunlight.

Lip cream: It is very dry so bring a lip cream to protect your lips.

Comfortable walking shoes: Almost all monasteries have steep steps to climb.

Snacks if your tour includes long road trips, and in case you don’t like the
local food.

Altitude sickness medicine: Taking the medicine one day before arriving at
high altitude increases effectiveness.

Motion sickness medicine: if you may have motion sickness on long mountain
road journeys.

Anti-diarrhea medicine: Tibetan food is very different from what you are
probably used to, and it may not agree with your digestive system.

Read more about what to pack for a Tibet tour.

5. Keep healthy — high altitude means 30% less oxygen.

Keep Healthy:

Try to keep healthy and not catch even a cold before entering and while in
Tibet, as illness makes any altitude sickness feel worse.

Take it easy and rest well, keep warm, drink a lot of water, and eat simply
the first two days in Tibet to reduce any altitude sickness symptoms.

If you don't feel well before you depart for Tibet you are not suggested to
go to Tibet. Even a cold can make altitude sickness feel a lot worse.

Read more about Tibet's altitude.

6. Fly into Tibet and take a train out.

The quickest and most convenient way is to fly in and fly out. But if you
want to experience the train trip, and see amazing mountain plateau views,
you can take a train out.

We don’t suggest you take a train to Tibet as the long journey on the train
may make you very tired, which is bad for high attitude acclimatization.

And because of high demand for and limited supply of trains to Tibet,
tickets are very hard to get.

Recommended train tour: Tibet Discovery Tour by Train — Take the world's
highest railway to explore Tibet!

7. Don't miss the must-see attractions.

The Potala Palace

The Potala Palace: the highest ancient palace in the world. Its spectacular
physical structure and importance in Tibetan history make it one of the
wonders of the world.

Jokhang Temple: the spiritural center of Tibet and the holiest destination
for all Tibetan Buddhist pilgrims. You can see lots of pilgrims kowtowing in
front of Jokhang Temple.

Drepung Monastery: the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery. Many people come
here to see the Thangka Unveiling at the Shoton Festival.

Lake Yamdrok: The turquoise water will take your breath away.

Mt. Everest: the tallest mountain in the world.

8. Respect the Tibetan people and avoid trouble.

lhasaDon't take photos of Buddha statues in monasteries.

Photography: Taking photos of Buddha statues is not allowed in the majority
of Tibetan monasteries.

In some monasteries, such as Tashilhunpo Monastery, tourists can take
pictures of the Buddha statues after paying some money.

Ask permission first before taking pictures of other people in the Barkhor
areas.

Sometimes they will ask you for money, but most of the time it is ok to give
them a little gift.

Monasteries: Smoking is not allowed when visiting monasteries. Dress
properly, not in shorts or sunglasses.

Visiting a local family: If you have a chance to visit a local family, let
the oldest people go first when you walk together with them.

Do not step on the threshold when entering a tent or house. Do not touch the
heads of people with your hands.

Manners: If you have a chance to have dinner with Tibetans, do not eat with
your mouth overfull, and do not chew or drink noisily.

When the host/hostess hands you something, for example a cup of tea, take it
with both hands to show your respect and appreciation.

Shopping Tibetan Souvenirs:

Shopping: Do not buy anything made from wild animals' skin or bones, as it
may cause problems when you try to leave the area.

Don’ts:

Do not talk about sensitive topics like politics when in Tibet.

Do not try to debate with lamas about their lives and religions.

Do not enter monasteries without permission.

Walk clockwise around Barkhor Street, especially during the rush hour of
pilgrimage from 9 am to 6 pm.

During religious festivals, many pilgrims come to monasteries to pay
religious homage.

At some monasteries there are special passages for tourists.

Do not join with the pilgrim crowds or queues.

Beggars: It is suggested that you prepare about 20 easily accessible 1 yuan
bills if you want to give to beggars when encountered.

9. Know the local conditions and lower your expectations.

Dingri zhufeng hotel:

Most hotels outside Lhasa only have basic facilities.

Keep in mind that you travel to Tibet for its old culture and scenery, but
not comfort.

Visiting a Tibetan house will probably be a big culture shock.

The facilities and service standard of hotels in Tibet is not what you would
expect from a hotel with the same rating in Beijing or Shanghai.

Hotels in Lhasa are relatively comfortable with heating systems and hot
water in winter.

Some star-rated hotels have in-house doctors to take care of minor
discomforts.

Hotels in small cities and towns outside Lhasa only have very basic
facilities, some even without a heating system and hot water in the freezing
winter.

pictures of the Buddha statues after paying some money.
Ask permission first before taking pictures of other people in the Barkhor
areas.
Sometimes they will ask you for money, but most of the time it is ok to give
them a little gift.
Monasteries: Smoking is not allowed when visiting monasteries. Dress
properly, not in shorts or sunglasses.
Visiting a local family: If you have a chance to visit a local family, let
the oldest people go first when you walk together with them.
Do not step on the threshold when entering a tent or house. Do not touch the
heads of people with your hands.
Manners: If you have a chance to have dinner with Tibetans, do not eat with
your mouth overfull, and do not chew or drink noisily.
When the host/hostess hands you something, for example a cup of tea, take it
with both hands to show your respect and appreciation.
Shopping: Do not buy anything made from wild animals' skin or bones, as it
may cause problems when you try to leave the area.
Do not talk about sensitive topics like politics when in Tibet.
Do not try to debate with lamas about their lives and religions.
Do not enter monasteries without permission.
Walk clockwise around Barkhor Street, especially during the rush hour of
pilgrimage from 9 am to 6 pm.
During religious festivals, many pilgrims come to monasteries to pay
religious homage.
At some monasteries there are special passages for tourists.
Do not join with the pilgrim crowds or queues.
Beggars: It is suggested that you prepare about 20 easily accessible 1 yuan
bills if you want to give to beggars when encountered.
9. Know the local conditions and lower your expectations.
Most hotels outside Lhasa only have basic facilities.
Keep in mind that you travel to Tibet for its old culture and scenery, but
not comfort.
Visiting a Tibetan house will probably be a big culture shock.
The facilities and service standard of hotels in Tibet is not what you would
expect from a hotel with the same rating in Beijing or Shanghai.
Hotels in Lhasa are relatively comfortable with heating systems and hot
water in winter.
Some star-rated hotels have in-house doctors to take care of minor
discomforts.
Hotels in small cities and towns outside Lhasa only have very basic
facilities, some even without a heating system and hot water in the freezing
winter.

Don't you have to follow very much the same 9-points no matter where you go?
Where is the "restriction" you are talking about?

Don't you have to follow very much the same 9-points no matter where you go?
Where is the "restriction" you are talking about?

Yale Guen Mar (posting under the fake name of Resty Wyse), be assured that you won't have to follow the same 9-points if you ever decide to travel from Merced, CA to Duncanville, TX for asking Homer and Cynthia for forgiveness.

Be also assured that Homer and Cynthia are as kindhearted as they are upright. They will readily forgive you if you truly repent your vile deeds.

Here is the restriction entry rules on Tibet:

2. You need a Tibet Entry Permit to enter Tibet.

Tibet entry permit:

All non-Chinese passport holders need a Tibet Entry Permit to visit Tibet,

and the only way to enter Tibet is to travel in groups.

No individual travelers are allowed to travel to Tibet at the moment.

All tours must be booked in advance by a Chinese travel agency, like us.

Your whole tour in Tibet must be accompanied by a licensed tour guide.

The Tibet Entry Permit is very important.

It will be checked at the train station/airport, when you enter attractions
in Tibet, and even when you
check in to a hotel. So take care of it.

One can booked hotel. But the one who booked have to fulfil the Chinese
restrictions to Tibet.
https://www.chinahighlights.com/tibet/travel-tips.htm
1. Plan in advance — at least 20 days before your departure.
All Tibet tours must be booked at least 20 days in advance. It normally
takes 2–3 days to confirm hotel bookings, and about a further 10 days for
the Tibet Tourism Bureau to issue the Tibet Entry Permit.
You should make sure you secure an Entry Permit, especially if new
restrictions are brought in, before you apply for a visa and make the final
preparations for your trip, unless you are willing to consider
alternatives
to Tibet once you arrive in China.
Recommended duration for a Tibet trip: If your travel will be limited to
areas around Lhasa, 4 days is enough; if you want to go to Mt. Everest, you
need at least a week.

3. Choose the best time to go — May to October.
Mount Everest in August
In general, the best time to visit Tibet is from May to October when the
weather is comfortable and oxygen content higher. This is Tibet’s high
travel season.
You may consider visiting Tibet in the low season to enjoy a less-crowded
trip and various discounts.
February and March Closed
Tibet is usually closed for most of February and March for the politically
sensitive time of Tibetan New Year. So we suggest you to plan a Tibet tour
from April 10th onwards to be on the safe side.
Usually it takes about 5 working days to apply for the permits, so the
earliest dates you are suggested to entry Tibet after the Tibetan New Year
April 5th by train (Use permit scans we send you.)
April 10th by flight (Extra time is needed for mail delivery, because
original permits must be checked.)
Read more on Tibet weather.
4. Pack/carry/wear what you need.
Warm clothes, such as sweaters and fleeces are needed even in summer as the
day-night temperature drop is big.
A thick down coat is essential if you go to Everest. If you go in the low
season bring mountain winter clothes.
Bring sunglasses and sunscreen to protect you from strong sunlight.
Lip cream: It is very dry so bring a lip cream to protect your lips.
Comfortable walking shoes: Almost all monasteries have steep steps to climb.
Snacks if your tour includes long road trips, and in case you don’t like the
local food.
Altitude sickness medicine: Taking the medicine one day before arriving at
high altitude increases effectiveness.
Motion sickness medicine: if you may have motion sickness on long mountain
road journeys.
Anti-diarrhea medicine: Tibetan food is very different from what you are
probably used to, and it may not agree with your digestive system.
Read more about what to pack for a Tibet tour.
5. Keep healthy — high altitude means 30% less oxygen.
Try to keep healthy and not catch even a cold before entering and while in
Tibet, as illness makes any altitude sickness feel worse.
Take it easy and rest well, keep warm, drink a lot of water, and eat simply
the first two days in Tibet to reduce any altitude sickness symptoms.
If you don't feel well before you depart for Tibet you are not suggested to
go to Tibet. Even a cold can make altitude sickness feel a lot worse.
Read more about Tibet's altitude.
6. Fly into Tibet and take a train out.
The quickest and most convenient way is to fly in and fly out. But if you
want to experience the train trip, and see amazing mountain plateau views,
you can take a train out.
We don’t suggest you take a train to Tibet as the long journey on the train
may make you very tired, which is bad for high attitude acclimatization.
And because of high demand for and limited supply of trains to Tibet,
tickets are very hard to get.
Recommended train tour: Tibet Discovery Tour by Train — Take the world's
highest railway to explore Tibet!
7. Don't miss the must-see attractions.
The Potala Palace
The Potala Palace: the highest ancient palace in the world. Its spectacular
physical structure and importance in Tibetan history make it one of the
wonders of the world.
Jokhang Temple: the spiritural center of Tibet and the holiest destination
for all Tibetan Buddhist pilgrims. You can see lots of pilgrims kowtowing in
front of Jokhang Temple.
Drepung Monastery: the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery. Many people come
here to see the Thangka Unveiling at the Shoton Festival.
Lake Yamdrok: The turquoise water will take your breath away.
Mt. Everest: the tallest mountain in the world.
8. Respect the Tibetan people and avoid trouble.
lhasaDon't take photos of Buddha statues in monasteries.
Photography: Taking photos of Buddha statues is not allowed in the majority
of Tibetan monasteries.
