http://tibet.net UN Members Should Address Rights Crisis in Tibet “A contact group could press the Chinese government to consider resuming meaningful negotiations with Tibetan representatives, and visibly demonstrate heightened international concern about deteriorating conditions,” Human Rights Watch said Friday 21 sept. in a statement. It also urged “governments to express support for the longstanding requests by UN special rapporteurs, as well as diplomats, journalists, and other independent monitors, to have access to Tibetan areas.” “The many years of restricting Tibetans’ fundamental rights have led to acts of desperation that have escalated a crisis that shows no sign of abating,” Sophie Richardson, China Director of HRW, said. “UN member countries should take steps now that could give Tibetans some hope.”
