A report from China on the unrest in Tibet in 2008

In May 2009 a group of legal academics in Beijing published a report on the government's handling of the unrest in Tibet in the spring of 2008. 

What was the Chinese government's response?  Did they take the report seriously and look into the failings of policy that led to so much dissent and disorder?  Did they take the opportunity to learn from the research?  No, of course not.  They have instead closed down the legal centre that published the report and revoked the licences of many of the lawyers.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
