Tenzin Dorjee, the international deputy director of Students For a Free Tibet, will be my guest on News Talk Online on Paltalk Friday March 28. The Chinese government crackdown in Tibet and the violence has left the area in shambles with people fearful to venture forth. Tibetan monks have been at the forefront of the movement for religious freedom. The Chinese, who claim ownership of the region, have been cracking down. Until now, journalists were not permitted into the area to see for themselves what was going. The Chinese government recently relaxed those regulations, permitting a handful of reporters to cover the conflict.

Students For a Free Tibet Deputy Director Tenzin Dorjee says this is Tibet's moment. Dorjee, speaking on News Talk Online on Paltalk.com says the summer Olympics gives Tibetans and their supporters an opportunity to tell the world about their plight. He says he is particularly gratified that the European Union is putting pressure on China to ease its stranglehold of Tibet. And he's hopeful that the United Nations will follow suit. He suggests the world should seize this opportunity to pressure China. But whether China listens, he says, is an entirely different matter.
