UN-TO-DEATH HUNGERSTRIKE DEMANDS
Following is the full text of the TYC's actual demands of the People's Movement:
• Gendun Choekyi Nyima, the 11th Panchen Lama, has been missing since 1995. The Chinese authorities have repeatedly stated that he is alive. We demand concrete evidence that he is indeed alive.
• In 2005, Tulku Tenzin Delek was sentenced to life imprisonment on alleged charges of “endangering national security”. Many other Tibetans have been imprisoned after engaging in political activity. The Chinese authorities claim that these people were sentenced by fair judicial process. We demand that the PRC produce convincing evidence that the judicial proceedings have taken place in a fair manner.
• The PRC Government maintains the position that Tibetans enjoy human rights in Tibet, despite many reports of human rights violations, including freedom of religion. We demand that the PRC produce concrete evidence that the Tibetans are enjoying human rights in Tibet.
• China’s new railway line in Tibet is causing a massive population influx of Chinese into Tibet, marginalization of native Tibetans, exploitation of natural resources, destruction of the environment, and eradication of Tibetan culture. China's stated rationale for this railway is to bring economic prosperity to the Tibetan people. We therefore demand that the PRC produce reliable evidence that the railwayline benefits Tibetans economically.
• The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has aims to improve the human rights situation inside Tibet and China by giving Beijing an opportunity to host the Olympics. We therefore demand that the IOC produce conclusive evidence that the human rights situation inside Tibet is acceptable.
