 China Frees More Than 1,100 Tibetan ProtestersPosted on Jun 20, 2008
Probably in an effort to calm tensions before the Olympic torch runs through Tibet’s capital city of Lhasa, the Chinese government released over 1,100 people alleged to have been involved in March’s unrest, which brought the world’s attention to the country and left several dozen people dead.

And how long have those suspected “terrorists” journalists and others? been rotting away in Guantanamo, Diego Garcia, on board Navy ships and a host of other outsourced facilities where their basic human rights are ignored.
How far this country has fallen under this congress, administration and court.

This was a smart move by China, totally ignored by the Western media though they jumped all over China and would love to keep on demonizing them. I don’t believe they are getting any closer to the Dalai Lama’s position though, but I think it shows he was right in trying to calm things down rather than take them into hysterics as the West would like.

Humm..very typical of the Chinese regime. They are political animals in ways that most of us in the West haven’t quite figured out yet.
but yeah, i’m sure this is because of the politics of the Olympic activities.
Whatever works, for however long it works, is what we have to appreciate here. No promises of anything long term though..
