Verein der Tibeter in Deutschland e.V.

By Sudip Mazumdar | NEWSWEEK
Ogyen Drodul Trinley Dorje holds a special place among Tibetans: both Beijing and the Dalai Lama recognize his legitimacy as the Karmapa, Tibetan Buddhism’s third highest leader. He spoke to NEWSWEEK’s Sudip Mazumdar in Dharamsala. Excerpts:

Mazumdar:How do you view the Tibet protests?
Dorje: The main thing is that Tibetans in Tibet should have a good future. The protests have made the lives of Tibetans more difficult.

What about a boycott of the Games?
[The] Olympics are a chance for the Chinese people to show [their growth]. I am not for any boycott.

Can Tibetans live under Chinese rule?
It’s difficult to say. [Here] we always talk negatively about the Chinese. We need to think about the positive for the future.

Do you think you could be a bridge to Beijing?
Not that I want it, but if they give me a chance then I hope [so].

What have you learned from the Dalai Lama?
I hope I get some of his immense patience.

BASEL, Switzerland (AP)- A pro-Tibet protester ran onto the field late in Germany’s 3-2 win over Turkey on Wednesday in the European Championship semifinals.

The man was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Tibet is not China,” and he ran on the field at St. Jakob Park moments after Turkey had scored an 86th-minute equalizer. He made it across most of the field before a security guard tackled him inside the opposite area.

Several guards then surrounded him and carried him off the field.

China’s communist leadership has faced a public relations disaster since protests of its rule of the Himalayan region turned violent March 14 in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa, sparking waves of unrest in surrounding provinces.

That was followed by protests at the Olympic torch-lightning ceremony and on several of the relay routes around the world.

Hamburg (dpa/lno) - Rund 200 Tibet-Aktivisten haben am Montag in Hamburg gegen den olympischen Fackellauf durch die tibetische Hauptstadt Lhasa demonstriert. «Wir wollen noch einmal daran erinnern, dass sich die Situation in Tibet vor Olympia überhaupt nicht verbessert hat», sagte der politische Referent des Tibetischen Zentrums in Hamburg, Andreas Hilmer. Eine Gruppe Tibeter führte auf dem Gänsemarkt ein drastisches Stück auf, das die Unruhen vor drei Monaten zeigte. Nach der Kundgebung, zu der auch die Vorsitzende des Vereins der Tibeter in Deutschland, Lhanzom Everding, aus Bonn gekommen war, folgte ein Gebetsmarsch zum Gerhard-Hauptmann-Platz.
