      Today, we hear a report on Tibetan wavers living in Nipole, who are trying to preserve their culture. But first we remember a protest and the compain againsted that made news around the world 24 years ago.
June 4th marks the 24th anniverary of the Chinese government’s opperssion of protests in Tian’anmen Square in Beijing. As a public place, Tian’anmen Square is huge. On one side is the Great Hall of the People, where China’s congress meet. In the center of the Square is the final resting place of communist China’s first leader, Mao Zedong. Looking north from the Square are the high walls of the Forbidden City, home to China’s rulers for centuries.
On June 4th, 1989, tanks and soldiers entered Tian’anmen to crush protests led by students and activists. The protesters strated gathering there weeks earlier to morn former Communist Party leader, Hu Yaobang, who had died in April. The demonstrations led to calls for reform and democracy in China.
Last Friday, American State Department officials released a statement marking the anniversary of the attack. It called on China to end harrasment of those who participated in the protests and fully account for the killed, detained or missing. The State Department called on China to protect the universal human rights of all its citizens. On Monday, a Chinese spokesman said his country urges the United States to, in his words, end political pregidies and corresctly treat China’s development. He went on to call the State Department comments a rude interferance in China’s internal affairs. It is estimated that several hundred to several thousand protesters were killed when Chinese troops raded in Tian’anmen Square. It is not known exactly how many were injured or arrested. China still considers the protests a contral revolutionary rebelling. The government bans discussion of the incidents in public and on the Internet. The government has denied any wrong doing and never provided a detailed explaination of what happened.
Last week, the New York based group, Human Rights in China, released an open letter from the activist group, Tian’anmen Mothers. It called for an open discussion and reconsideration of the events of June 4th.
In 1959, Tibetans rebelled against Chinese occupation of their homeland. After the rebelling failed, many Tibetans fled across the Himalaya Mountains to Nipole. Today 20,000 Tibetan refugees live in the country. The refugees say they are facing increasing restrictions because of pressure from China.
Kitty Waver has this report from VOA reporter, a roop common day in Kardmandu.
Donhama Lama learned to made Tibetan carpets from her mother who settled in Kardmandu after the unsuccessful rebelling. Donhama Lama was born in Nipole. She has been living in clot since she was 19. She says she honors Tibetan traditions in serveral ways.
It is very important, because we are...
