Introduction

Tibet, known mostly for its peaceful way of life and scenic mountains, was invaded by China over fifty years ago.

Since then over one million people have died in one of the longest and bloodiest campaigns of genocide that the world has ever witnessed.

Some governments continue to turn a blind eye as thousands of children become orphans and live as refugees.

Torture and intimidation are daily facts of life for these gentle people caught up in a campaign to eradicate their religion, nationality and culture.

While atrocities in Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia command world attention, the plight of the Tibetan people is largely forgotten.
