Statement
by the Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS) on the
Tibet Issue
March
17, 2008
Since
mid March, there has been a peaceful petition and demonstration by the monks
and people of Tibet, which evolved into a bloody conflict between the Chinese
Communist government and the Tibetans.
The
IFCSS believes that
1) The Tibetan
Buddhism is a treasure of human culture;
2) Tibetans have
their rights to choose their religious beliefs and life style;
3) Tibetans should
enjoy a high degree of autonomy;
4) The Tibetans'
religious beliefs and culture rights should receive respect and protection;
5) When the
Tibetans' rights of a high degree of autonomy and religious and cultural freedom
are not respected and protected, they have the right to choose demonstrations
to express their dissatisfaction.
The
IFCSS strongly condemns the Chinese Communist government's indifference toward
the Tibetans' request, and expresses its strongest protest over the Chinese
government's violent suppression that followed. We ask the Chinese government to release those who have been
detained; to open the foreign media to Tibet to report and interview, as well
as permit international society to have an independent and fair investigation
over this incident. Only an open
China with human rights has the right to hold the Olympics.
Human
rights has a universal value. The
IFCSS feels what the Tibetans feel.
We solidly support Tibetans' long-time struggle by means of peace and
non-violence. We wish that
democracy and freedom shall be realized in China, including Tibet.
-- The
Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS)

全美中国学生学者自治联合会关于西藏局势的声明
三月中旬以来，中国西藏地区发生了僧侣及市民的和平请愿游行示威活动，
并进而演化为中共政权与藏民的流血对抗事件。全美中国学生学者自治联合会（全美学自联）对此表示严重关切。
全美学自联认为，藏传佛教是人类文化的宝贵财富。藏族人民有权利选择他们的宗教信仰和生活方式。藏族人民应当享有高度自治。藏族人民的宗教信仰及文化权利必须受到尊重和保护。在他们的高度自治权利和宗教信仰及文化权利得不到尊重和保障时，他们有权利选择以游行示威的方式来表达他们的不满。
全美学自联强烈谴责中共政权对于西藏人民的要求的冷漠，对中共政权继而采取的暴力镇压表示最强烈的抗议。我们要求中共政权释放被拘押的僧侣，开放外国媒体进入西藏进行采访，
并允许国际社会对此次事件进行独立公正的调查。一个开放的人权的中国才有资格举办奥运会。
人权是普世价值观。全美学自联对于西藏同胞的诉求感同身受。我们坚定地支持西藏同胞长期以来的抗争及以和平非暴力的方式来表达自己的诉求。我们希望民主自由能在包括西藏在内中华大地早日实现。
