Free Tibet!

Tibet
More anthropological than archaeological but, nevertheless, these videos are absolutely awesome.
I have a personal vested interest in Tibet as I have a close friend who is from there, currently exiled in the UK with no hope of any kind of future due to the political situation. He is constantly being forced to either accept an Indian passport or a Chinese passport by the UK Home Office because, as far as they are concerned, Tibet no longer exists and these people are either Chinese or Indian. But they have their own language and their own culture. My friend and many of his friends refuse to accept these nationalities and for that they are not allowed to work, have a NI number, a passport, receive benefits, get married or any other thing that might be considered “humane”. But there is nothing humane about the secrets our governments, and thus the media, keep. If I know about it, then they damn well do as well. It’s one of those things where absolute disgust can only be your feeling when you know the details, and it’s more than enough evidence to prove that our media are nothing more than state-run and do not tell the stories that matter. Tibet is one of those examples. Tibet has been literally wiped off the map and has become a part of China, without so much as a complaint or political intervention from the west. There have been thousands of Tibetans murdered in what is nothing more than the obliteration of an entire country and its culture. The west does nothing about it because it is in the palm of the hand of the Chinese due to trade and for that the story is ignored by our media completely and, as I have just said, that proves the media is state-run because this is, and always has been, one of the stories of the century, for this one and the last.
Like native American Indians, all the Tibetans can do now is try and hold on to their heritage as much as possible.
