The Economist Weights in on Repression in Tibet

Although, in general, "The Economist' is way to the right of my political thinking, they are spot on in their coverage of the ongoing repression in Tibet, and China's human rights abuses, exploitation of Tibet and Tibetans, and the government's denial and attempted whitewashing of crimes committed against Tibet and Tibetans. Also Human Rights Watch just released their 2010 World Report, and China (again) is one of the world's worst offenders, not the least for their Tibet policies. Here's the report on the pro-independence riots in Tibet in 2008, and the ensuing crackdown:

I have been involved with the International Campaign for Tibet for about 15 years, and have helped my dear friends Karma and Riksang, and their three kids, immigrate as Tibetan refugees from a refugees in Nepal to Toronto. My heart is always with them, and the fight for Tibetan Independence.
