Since 1959 the Communist China completely invaded Tibet and till this year, for the last forty-nine years, the Peoples Republic of China disinclined a systematic policy based on unjust, demographic change, genocide of Tibetan culture, consecutive derogatory remarks to HH the Dalai Lama, head of spiritual and temporal leader of Tibetans and abduction of the second highest spiritual leader the 11th Panchen Lama etc.

Finally the endurance of the Tibetans broke on 10th March this year in Lhasa and then spread to all over Tibet based on justice and non-violent means three slogans against the Chinese Government—Free Tibet, reinstate HH Dalai Lama and release of the 11th Panchen Lama Gedun Choekyi Nyima unanimously heard. However, the Peoples Republic of China without any consideration for finding about the root problem, heavy Chinese military clampdown was in swift repression and everywhere persecutions of the Tibetans were in abundance, in which around one hundred and fifty have been killed, thousands detained without proper information and several dozens were brutally injured. The present situation in Tibet continues to deteriorating.

In order to show our solidarity and support for the cause of Tibet, the 25 monks of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, South India are on hunger strike at Jantar Mantar in Delhi from 18th April 2008 to 25th April 2008. And also 45 monks will stage hunger strike on the very birthday of His Holiness the Panchen Lama (25th April 2008.  We the monks here put forth the ensuing five resolutions to the Peoples Republic of China, Amnesty International, Human Rights Commission, United Nations Organization and Red Cross for immediate action.
