Bath Tibet Support UK

The Chinese Ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming , was met by a sizeable demonstration from Bath Tibet, Amnesty members and supporters when he arrived to give a speech at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institute on May 17th. During quite a rowdy question and answer session he was asked some very wide ranging questions, particularly concerning China’s policy in Tibet, the disappearance of the young Panchen Lama, allegedly abducted by Chinese state security, and the government’s tight control and censorship of the Internet. The Ambassador became visibly Continue reading →

It was great to hear George earlier on Wiltshire Radio speaking about tomorrow nights event, Blood on the Snows!……listen here to George’s Radio Interview (time: 01:11:00) As the UK tightens the relationship with China it is more important that we challenge China’s unacceptable regime of torture, not only their practicing of it but the manufacture and export of torture implements which fuel human rights violations in other countries (see Amnesty site).

Another date for your diary – please come and join us, Monday 4th April at The Corsham Almshouse, Corsham, Wiltshire.  7:00-9:00pm ​In 2008, after decades of occupation and repression, a wave of protests erupted across Tibet. China’s response left 227 dead, over 1,000 injured and 6,810 in prison.  Some have since been released.

Some didn’t live to tell the tale.  A few not only survived until release but then evaded surveillance and managed to escape into exile.  In 2015, we put Continue reading →

Dalai Lama compared to Iraqi dictator by Chinese state media as order issued for seizure of pictures Tibetan shopkeepers were ordered to hand in images of the Dalai Lama by the county authorities in Draggo, Kardze, an extreme and counter-productive move that was endorsed later by an article in the Chinese state media comparing the Dalai Lama to Saddam Hussein.

After 3 protesters against Xi Jingping’s visit were arrested in London on 21st Oct on ‘breach of the peace’ offences, questions were raised in the house on commons.  After a few days the CPS decided that it was not in the public interest to pursue a prosecution.  The following video records the questions raised by MPs on this matter.

George, Anne-Marie and Richard from the Bath Dist. Tibet Support Group decided at the last minute to go to London and protest against the actions of the Chinese Communist Party in Tibet.  Being our usual disorganised selves, we got to Buck Palace by 10am and had no idea where we were supposed to meet the rest of the Tibet supporters.  There were huge numbers of pro Chinese supporters and it took us a while to get through onto the Mall itself.  Then we realised that Continue reading →
