China on Saturday issued a most wanted list of 21 Tibetan rioters which were caught in the camera protesting against Chinese rule in Tibet. China has responded with a massive clampdown on the affected areas, releasing a most-wanted list of 21 Tibetan protesters caught on a camera taking part in the Lhasa riots, amid warnings by activist groups of harsh reprisals.
Nancy Pelosi US House Speaker supporting to the Tibet cause when she was on a visit to the Dalai Lama, calling China’s crackdown ”a challenge to the conscience of the world”.
Her criticism added to a growing chorus of international concern over Beijing’s harsh response to the anti-government protests in Tibet, as China sought to blame supporters of the Tibetan spiritual leader for the unrest that has posed the biggest challenge to Beijing’s rule in two decades.
Pelosi, who was leading a congressional delegation on a previously scheduled trip to India, was warmly greeted by the Dalai Lama.
Nancy Pelosi said in Dharamshala on a visit to the Dalai Lama, ”If freedom-loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China’s oppression in China & Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world”.
Pelosi denied China’s claim that the Dalai Lama was behind the violence in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, as making ”no sense”.
