Defiance

 

Shiho Fukada for The New York Times

Via the Tricycle Editor's Blog, here's an interesting article from the New York Times about a group of Tibetan monks at a monastery in Xiahe who defied the Chinese governments' propaganda about Tibetans being happy under Chinese rule.

A group of journalists was taken to the monastery by their Chinese escorts.  Upon arriving, the monks unfurled banners with statements like, "We have no human rights now," as well as the Tibetan flag.  The monks escaped and three have turned up in Dharamsala, India.

Elated to hear the incredibly courageous monks escaped and found refuge. Too many do not.
