Convicted Tibet Rioters Sentenced to Prison Terms

Chinese state media say a court in Tibet has imprisoned 17 people for terms of three years to life for their roles in deadly riots and violence in the region last month.

The official Xinhua news agency did not give any other details on the Lhasa court ruling in a brief dispatch Tuesday.

Tibet's Indian-based government-in-exile says more than 200 people died in a crackdown by Chinese forces on anti-government protesters and rioters.

"Peaceful Tibetan protestors were provoked" by the Chinese forces into committing acts of violence, a spokesman for the government-in-exile told a news conference Tuesday, adding that "some Chinese-planted agents themselves started the riots that left some Chinese dead."

Eyewitness accounts and amateur videos of the violence paint a different picture. Tourists have reported that mobs beat ethnic Chinese whose arrival in the region has been blamed by Tibetans for altering its way of life.

China blames Tibetan rioters for the deaths of at least 20 people.

China has ruled Tibet for nearly 60 years. The Communist Party says it liberated Tibetans from what it calls "the dark ages" of feudal serfdom.

EDITOR'S NOTE: China is right about that. Old Tibet was a barbaric theocracy that made medieval Europe seem progressive and humane by comparison. More than 95% of the people were serfs or slaves with no human rights. Monks and nobles tortured, murdered, mutilated their victims at will. The most depraved among the ruling elite drank blood from bowls made of human skulls, fashioned human bones into implements, and decorated their living quarters with human skin.

Travelers to the remote, isolated land were shocked and appalled by the conditions. But visiting Nazis, seeking mystical powers in the "birthplace of the swastika" and an alliance with the Dalai Lama's regime, admired the "manly violence" and brutality, as one of Hitler's emissaries put it.

The exiled Dalai Lama, who, as a teenager, was the absolute ruler of Tibet before its liberation at the hands of Chinese troops, has acknowledged "unsavory aspects" of the old social system. Perhaps influenced by the Nazis and fascists (e.g. Miguel Serrano, a former Chilean diplomat, who is regarded as the founder of a mystical, racist creed known as Esoteric Hitlerism) with whom he has maintained lifelong friendships, the Nobel laureate has never apologized for the atrocities and horrors that were commonplace in Old Tibet.

He says that he seeks only cultural autonomy for his people. Actually, his movement aims to split so-called Greater Tibet--about a quarter of China's current territory--from China.

Gestern in einer Sendung hat sich jemand gewundert, warum die ganzen Tibet-Freunde zu einem Boycott der olympischen Spiele 2008 auffordern, aber letztes Jahr kein Problem damit hatten, dass die Fußball-WM in China ausgetragen wurde. Da gab es keine Boycott-Aufrufe, obwohl die Situation in Tibet nicht anders war als heute.

Frauenfußball interessiert halt keinen und bringt nur wenig Geld ein.

Obwohl er für 99% der Zuschauer, objektiv betrachtet interessanter sein müsste als Männerfussball.

Wem macht es Spass, Schachgroßmeistern live zuzusehen? Nur Leuten,die wirklich richtig gut Schach spielen, und selbst da sind die meisten wohl im Zweifelsfalle eher an dem Transkript interessiert als an der Übertragung.

Aber Fußballfans glauben ja offenbar allesamt zu ca. 815,162342 %, dass sie verstünden, was sie da sehen.

Die meisten haben das letzte mal im Schulalter gegen den Ball getreten; zu Zeiten, wo sie aber bereits die Bierpulle in den Händen hielten.

Schon klar, ich werde demnächst Physikfan werden. Newton brauche ich nicht, die spezielle und die allgemeine Relativitätstheorie auch nicht, ich geh direkt an die Quanten.
