  The Agony of Tibet March 23, 2008  Watch our report hereReporter: Kirstine Lumb Producer: Mark Greive The recent riots in Tibet and crackdown by the Chinese Army have thrust an issue that many thought was dead and buried back out onto the World Stage. This week Sunday exposes the "Cultural Genocide" being perpetrated in Tibet by the Chinese Government, who are systematically obliterating the Tibetan culture and religion. They are swamping the country with hundreds of thousands of Chinese immigrants every year, and detaining and torturing any Tibetan who dares to peacefully protest. Possessing a photo of the Dalai Lama or a Tibetan flag is an offence that results in many years in gaol. To be a Tibetan political prisoner means rape, torture and mandatory brainwashing. But what does the future hold for the gentle and spiritual Tibetans who have fled their Himalayan home? Sunday examines how the Tibetan culture is being kept alive in the children of Tibetan parents in some of the most incongruous cities and suburbs around the world such as Dee Why beach in Sydney. |
