Reports of daily hostilities in Tibet are continuing to leak out of China. The situation has intensified to such degrees, with a series of self-immolations leading to shootings of protesters by the Chinese police, that Buddhists in Syracuse are in support of desires for more concrete international action on the matter as expressed by Prime Minister Lobsang Sangay. It has been reported in The Tibet Post International "More Concrete Actions from Int’l Community On Tibet: Political Leader."
Due to grave concerns over the well-being of Tibetans in Tibet in view of the Chinese military build-up which is now occuring in Tibet, Prime Minister Lobsang Sangay has called for more substantive support from the world community to end the Chinese government's repression in Tibet. Sangay has said "Hundreds of convoys carrying Chinese military personnel with automatic machine guns are moving towards Tibet. We fear many Tibetans might face unfortunate experiences."
Sangay has also commented "The Tibetans in Tibet are giving up their lives because the occupation of Tibet and repressive policies of the Chinese government is unacceptable. We really appreciate statements issued by different countries like the US and European countries. But we would like to seek some more concrete actions to send delegates to Tibet to investigate the reality and the military build-up in Tibet, deaths and torture of Tibetans, and the reasons why there is repression, why Tibetans are self-immolating."
Sangay wants the United States to pass a Senate resolution to show support to the Tibetan people. And he wants the international media to make more efforts to go to Tibet and objectively report on what is really happening there. And in between these calls for action Sangay has joined in prayers with other Buddhists for the well being of the people of Tibet.
