This is not all. China is actually carrying out a campaign of genocide in Tibet. Since China’s invasion of Tibet in 1949 more that 1.2 million Tibetans have been massacred. Tens of thousands of other Tibetans-men, women and children-languish in Chinese prisons and slave labour camps. What is more; through a campaign of forced abortions, inter – marriages and transferring millions upon millions of landless and jobless Chinese into Tibet; Tibetans have been reduced to a minority in their own country. The situation is getting worse every day. As early as 1959 the International Commission of Jurists stated that the Chinese had “committed genocide in Tibet”. Subsequently, many independent bodies-including the United Nations, the European Parliament and the United States Congress-have passed resolutions to confirm that gross human rights violations in Tibet continue to this day.
