Tibet's exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has accused China of bringing "hell on earth" to his homeland. The 73-year-old monk also called for meaningful autonomy for Tibetans in his speech last Tuesday marking the 50th anniversary of a failed uprising against China.

The more information exchanged throughout the net about human rights abuses in ALL countries practising same, the more likely people within those countries who are working towards change will feel empowered and supported.

It will not do any good, the wealthiest communist capitalistic government in the world (and loans the US billions of dollars, who opened up trade relations in the 70's under Nixon) doesn't care.
Tibet, and Tienanmen Square and other atrocities should show that US quickly forgets, and had adopted torture as accepible.
Until there is a huge change in OUR government it will remain the status quo.
Thank You for your comment. I do think some things can work though.
We may be lacking leadership from the Democratic country's, but I'm talking about company's who advertise and sponsor the Olympic games. If a large number of people make it clear to those company's that they will make it a point to not buy their products, that affects those company's directly and hurts their reputation and bottom line. Company's respond to that and might with the right amount of pressure from the public pull their adds.
The last thing you want as a company is a Tainted product that will be associated with Human rights abuses.
