Tibetans have commemorated on Wednesday an anti-Communist Uprising and mourned the victims who were murdered sixty-two years ago.


On March 9, 1959 several thousand Tibetans surrounded the Dalai Lama's palace in the city of Lhasa to prevent him from leaving or being removed. It is still uncertain whether it was a rumor or fact that the Communist China's army planned to abduct him.

Until that time following the Beijing Communist take over China Tibet has been under the occupation of Chinese Communist Party since 1950. In 1951 Communist China, which invaded Tibet, signed The Seventeen Point Agreement with the delegates of the 14th Dalai Lama, who was a sovereign of the country. But before even ink dried up on the agreement, Beijing regime violated all of its promises.

The policies and actions of a new Bolshevik regime from Beijing were the opposite of those indicated in The Seventeen Point Agreement.

Therefore, instead of the traditional political system, CCP imposed the Bolshevik-type one centralised and enforced by the pervasive, brutal, and corrupted secret police. Dalai and Panchen Lamas status and functions were ignored not maintained, as the agreement guaranteed. Beijing launched brutal anti-religious persecution instead of protecting religious freedom. Thus, it began the systematic destruction of the culture and social system of Tibet by the Chinese Communist Party.

The beatings, tortures, mass imprisonment, and murder were usual instruments of power utilised by the Chinese Communist Party in Tibet from the first day of the occupation.

But the full cynicism and inhumanness of the Beijing regime can be seen in the words of the then First Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Mao Zedong.

Beijing regime has perpetrated an enormous crime killing 87,000 Tibetans in few days, as Tibetan Government in Exile documented.

The more chaotic the situation in Tibet becomes the better; for it will help train our troops and toughen the masses, Mr. Mao remarked to the CCP Central Committee on the type of policies which Party must pursue towards Tibetans. Furthermore, the chaos will provide a sufficient reason to crush the rebellion and carry out reforms in the future, he added.

The massacre has been followed by imprisonment in the concentration camps of slave labor and death, an aggressive campaign of the erasure of Tibetan culture, and the wave of other types of persecution that includes psychological and physical torture.

Tibetan's slaughterer promoted as Uyghurs' Chief Persecutor

In 2012, Party Secretary Chen Quanguo transformed Tibet into a police state dividing cities into fully surveilled districts.  Chinese police could abuse Tibetans without impunity. Mr. Chen introduced a neighbor spying system further damaging the moral and cultural fabric of the Tibetan society.

Instead of prosecution for violations of basic human rights of Tibetans Chinese Communist Party promoted Mr. Chen to supervise the genocide of Uyghurs in East Turkistan.

Since the mid-February Communist China regime has carried out arrests in the regional capital Lhasa and along Tibet’s border with Nepal.

On Wednesday Tibetans protested against Chinese Communist Party, the perpetrators this massacre who have been conducting massive campaign of persecution and murder of Tibetans.

They have deployed more soldiers in Lhasa and in Nyalam county, an area located along the mountainous border with Nepal, the source said Radio Liberty. The authorities are stepping up their checks on the use of social media in Tibet these days, source added.

Protests against the Chinese Communist Party took place in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

"Uyghurs and Tibetans share a similar history and struggle, both people saw their land and fundamental freedoms being stripped away from them"

Tibetans also demonstrated in other parts of the world including US, Germany, UK, and India.

But we are here to mark the undaunted resilience of Tibetans in Tibet, stated Tibetan leader in India Mr. Lobsang Sangay said. Even under the threat of losing their lives, they continue to protest by protecting and preserving our language, our religion, our culture, our land, and our identity.

World Uyghur Congress expressed its solidarity with persecuted Tibetans.

Uyghurs and Tibetans share a similar history and struggle, both people saw their land and fundamental freedoms being stripped away from them, said the author of the statement. Today, Tibetans and Uyghurs are living under the repressive genocidal regime of the CCP, and the diaspora community lives in exile, advocating for democracy and fundamental freedoms, the author emphasised.

The Tibetan diaspora is estimated to include about 150,000 people living in 40 countries, mainly India, Nepal, North America, and in Europe. About 7 million Tibetans live in Tibet.

 

 

COMMENTARY

The lesson that the West should learn from the recent history of Tibet is the Communist regime's disregard of any treaties which would preclude achieving their objectives. In other words, Communists perceive treaties and agreements as tactics rather than a goal in itself.

This perception was not different in 1961 when Communist Beijing signed The Seventeen-Point Agreement, a guarantee of religious and social autonomy within the communist state. Mr. Mao Zedong planned a "people's democratic society" for Tibet which was a phrase for the destruction of Tibet’s traditional political, economic, and social structures.

He had to carry a massacre killing 87,000 Tibetans to launch the sovietisation process as these policies should be called.

This crime has never been punished. Even worse, the West, which emphases its Christian moral stance, rejects even to commemorate it as Hiroshima or Rwanda or other known massacres.

But the persecution of Tibetans is a part of the crimes that were initiated by the Bolshevik and Soviet regime. According to the Black Book of Communism, the number of people killed by the Communist governments amounts to more than 94 million, of which 64 million were killed in Communist China.

It is the highest time to stand up and join those who raise their voices against the crimes of the Chinese Communist Party.

This year Beijing is planning to boast of the supposed legacy of the Chinese Communist Party.

But its past is not glorious but inglorious, not praise-worthy but requiring urgent worldwide condemnation.
