Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Direct From Lhasa: Chinese Repression On Video

by @ 12:25 pm on March 17, 2008.

The Chinese may be surpressing YouTube for their own citizens, but the rest of the world can still see what’s going on.

Here’s a report from Al Jazeera (H/T: Vodkapundit)

And one from Radio Free Asia (obviously in Chinese but the images are interesting to watch anyway)

Here’s Britain’s Sky News:

And, finally, video of a police roundup from a Hong Kong news station:

    I am an American Buddhist and I don’t like what I saw on the news on Tibet. Mob stoning passersby, hitting motorists(men, women, girls) and dragging them off their bikes, setting fire to bikes, turning over trucks and lighting them on fire, smashing stores and setting them ablaze. I saw charred remains of 5 store clerks who were trapped in their store when it was looted and torched. THESE ARE VIOLENT, NOT PEACEFUL ACTS. FREEDOM OF SPEECH COMES WITH RULE OF LAW. THESE ACTS ARE NOT COMPASSION PREACHED IN BUDDHISM. WHOEVER BEHIND THESE ACTS ARE ANTI-BUDDHA, ANTI-CHRIST AND GO AGAINST ALL HUMAN DECENCY.
    DALAI AND R GERE, you have broken the vow of PANCHA SILA or FIVE PRECEPTS:
    #1 Thou shall not kill
    #2 Thou shall not take what is not given
    #3 Thou shall not distort facts
    #4 Thou shall refrain from misuse of the senses
    #5 Thou shall refrain from self-intoxication through alcohol or drugs
