China’s Social Injustice Problems

• Chinese authorities target people for harassment

• Don’t have full rights on freedom of speech and religion

Tibetan’s Mistreatment

• Tibetan populated areas are tightly sealed off

• Many face discrimination and harassment

"China has been tightening its hold, not just on the monasteries, but all aspects of Tibetan life and culture."

• Spiritual leader, Dalai Lama, has been in exile since 1959

“On 6 July, in Tawu, Sichuan province, at least ten Tibetans who had gathered to celebrate the Dalai Lama’s birthday were injured.”

Tibet’s Protests

• Protests are shut down immediately and violently

“Tibetan exile groups said police moved in, firing tear gas and using electric prods, to clear the demonstration."
