	International Tibet Independence Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Support for the movement in the current Tibet Autonomous Region is illegal within the People's Republic of China and the movement is largely led by Tibetans in exile with the support of some individuals and organizations outside of Tibet.
		The government of the PRC says that the population of Tibet in 1737 was about 8 million, and that due to the backward rule of the local theocracy, there was rapid decrease in the next two hundred years and the population in 1959 was only about 1.19 million.

	Rethinking Tibet: what the "Free Tibet" activists don't tell you (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It was a movement that was propelled by the Chinese youth.
		Free Tibet activists may have a strange definition of religious freedom, but to be forced to believe in only one religion was not really a kind of freedom for the people of old Tibet.
		Another point that Free Tibet activists raise is that the Chinese government has unfairly replaced the Tibetan language with Mandarin as the language of teaching in schools.

	The Militant - Nov. 29, 1999 -- 'Free Tibet' campaign fits Washington's war moves against China
		In a letter to the editor this week, Jan Lyden objects to the "negative reference to the Free Tibet Movement" in the article "Anti-WTO protests are opposite of labor solidarity," which was published in the November 15 Militant.
		Their vision is not a "Free Tibet," but a "free" —that is, capitalist — market, and a political system that allows free imperialist super-exploitation.
		As these struggles grow in Tibet and elsewhere in China, they will lay the basis for a fight to build on the gains of the revolution, overthrow the stranglehold of bureaucratic rule, and replace it with the political rule of a government that represents the historic interests of the working class and its allies.

	Free Tibet Campaign - Women in the Tibetan Freedom Movement
		Although always active in the resistance movement, it was on 12 March 1959 that women visibly organised political action as a distinct group.
		Nuns are seen as powerful political enemies by the Chinese authorities, who have tried to weaken the nunneries and their spiritual teaching by imposing strict rules, planting informers and 'workers', devising schemes of political re-education and expelling nuns.
		Dawa Hansum, a nun imprisoned in Gutsa, one of Tibet's most notorious prisons, after taking part in a 1989 pro-independence demonstration, had one of her nipples severed with scissors.

		In any case I havy little respect for the movement and I generally think that the primary goal of the movement is not to help the Tibetians, it is to hurt the Chinese and the whole movement is simply a bunch of Chinese-haters.
		The solidarity of the 'Free Tibet' solidarity movement is directed towards the exiled past of Tibet.
		While I cannot of course predict what kind of government free Tibet would have, none of the examples you mentioned seem heavy enough to point that Tibet would be established as authoritarian theocracy, continuing the old tradition of the Tibetan "nation" of the 1950s.

		By the mid 1980s, over 1.2 million Tibetans died of starvation, forced labor and execution; thousands of Tibetans were imprisoned and tortured for their beliefs; and all but a handful of Tibet's 6,000 monasteries were destroyed.
		China's 1992 economic "opening" of Tibet to foreign development is creating jobs for Chinese immigrants, jobs for which Tibetans are not trained, and further economically marginalizing Tibetans.
		In 1989, the US Congress proclaimed Tibet an "occupied country whose true representatives are the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in Exile." However, successive US administrations have officially considered Tibet part of China and have refused to treat the Dalai Lama as a political leader.

		But India's willingness to advocate for Tibet is waning as China booms and becomes a crucial trade partner.
		At the same time, the once-outspoken Dalai Lama has grown quiet in recent years, reducing the Free Tibet campaign to little more than the fading stickers still found in youth hostels and on VW vans the world over.

		Tibet was once a place of remoteness to Westerners; today, it seems all too familiar to them, at least superficially.
		While his love for Tibet and its people are still obvious, French now seems to realize that many of the causes he once advocated are so far removed from the reality that Tibetans must deal with everyday that those causes have become unhelpful to them.
		Tibet remains a backwater assignment for Chinese cadres, and ironically Tibetans who have chosen to collaborate can also guardedly gain in small amounts a better life for their compatriots, given the lack of power Tibet has.

		Together with this movement, Dalai's representative's office and reception station in Kathmandu and Tibetan extremists have never stopped anti-China activities by destabilizing and attempting to separate Tibet from China.
		At the same time, we request them that Dalai renounce his attempts for Tibet independence, acknowledge that Tibet is an inalienable part of China, Taiwan is a province of China, and the government of the People's Republic of China the sole legal government of China.
		Some external organizations advocating free Tibet campaign also help Tibetan separatists to do anti-China and anti-Nepal activities by politicizing the lawful repatriation of Tibetan illegal immigrants and criticizing China for so-called human rights violations, without paying attention to their violations of law by illegally crossing the border.

		I think the Free Tibet movement is more of a symbolic gesture than anything else, something to right the way it was taken by the Communist party back in the day.
		The tradeoff for this stability is an increasing amount of Han Chinese being relocated to Tibet and a diminishing of a purer Tibetan identity.
		To some extent, to argue that Tibet should be freed should also be to argue that the rest of China be freed as they suffered under the very same forces and influences.
