Above: 25 year old Loyak before execution You would think that eventually people would become accustomed to the murder of their fellow beings for political maneuvering. You may believe that "killing is a necessary evil," as one of my former army chaplains dictated to me, angrily. But thankfully, there still exists beings that disagree with these thoughts. Maybe you are one of them.
On October 20th, 2009 four Tibetans were executed by the Chinese government. Lobsang Gyaltsen, 27, Loyak, 25, Penkyi, 21, and an unidentified Tibetan were sentenced to death for alleged involvement in a mass demonstration more than a year ago in the Tibetan capital. The Chinese press made no known mention of the sentencing or the execution according to the Tibetan Center for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD).
Some 200 beings recently protested in Minnesota carrying four black coffins to signify the loss of their loved human family. Jigme Ugen, President of the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress of Minnesota, denounced the executions and called upon the US and President Obama to make a stand against such violations of Human Rights as he is currently about to make his first tour of China since becoming the US President.
Senator Al Franken of Minnesota sent a representative to show his support and Amy Klobuchar sent a message stating that she was, " deeply saddened by the news of the executions
of the four young Tibetans by the Lhasan Municipality Intermediate People's Court, just weeks before President Obama is set to visit Beijing. These sorts of politically motivated executions violate internationally recognised human rights standards and should not be tolerated wherever they occur."
Some say that it is not an American problem. Not to long ago minorities in this country were tortured, murdered, raped and jailed with no protection or aid. Then a nation rose up, above themselves, for the good of the Human race, the Human brotherhood and tried to set things right. These borders are fictional....it's time to rise above ourselves.
