DHARMSHALA March 16. ---TIBET'S government-in-exile today demanded the United Nations intervention to end what it called 'urgent human rights violations' by China in the region following deadly protests.The exiled government in Dharamshala in Himachal Pardesh of India, temporary home of Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, also said it had received 'unconfirmed reports More then100 people had been killed and martial law imposed in Lhasa'.'The Tibetan parliament urges the UN to send representatives immediately and intervene and investigate the current urgent human rights violations in Tibet,' the Tibetan administration said in a statement. Meanwhile Dalai Lama had a long talk with his core group of advisors along with Prof Samdong Rinpoche, Prime Minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile, today, to examine the situation.He had also spoken to some of the top leaders of the US to apprise them of the growing tension in Tibet and seek international support for a peaceful resolution of the problem.The US government had deputed a top functionary to visit McLeodganj on and meet the Dalai Lama to hold a discussion on the current situation in Tibet after which further course of action by the US would be decided, revealed the Tibetan sources.The Tibetan leader had appealed the Chinese leadership to address Tibetan people's resentment through dialogue.
Amidst reports of massive unrests across Tibet, the exiled Tibetan leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama also has expressed deep concern over the latest situation developing in Tibet."I am deeply concerned over the situation that has been developing in Tibet following peaceful protests in many parts of Tibet, including Lhasa, in recent days," the Dalai Lama said amidst reports of massive unrests across Tibet.Thousands of Tibetans have been staging massive protest demonstrations across Tibet demanding Tibetan independence. The demonstrators have also called for the unconditional return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet.Widespread protests are also held by Tibetans worldwide as they commemorated 49th anniversary of Tibetan National Uprising on Monday against China's occupation of their once independent country. A major return march by Tibetans to reach Tibet from India to challenge China's rule over Tibet has been stopped by Indian Government recently. The Dalai Lama said, "These protests are a manifestation of the deep-rooted resentment of the Tibetan people under the present governance." The Dalai Lama said: "As I have always said, unity and stability under brute force is at best a temporary solution. It is unrealistic to expect unity and stability under such a rule and would therefore not be conducive to finding a peaceful and lasting solution." In the statement the Tibetan leader has appealed the Chinese leadership to address Tibetan people's resentment through dialogue and not to use force, and has called on fellow Tibetans not to resort to violence.
