Tears of blood : a cry for Tibet
"On October 7, 1959, the Chinese People's Liberation Army invaded the heartland of Tibet, annexing it as a western province of the newly established People's Republic of China. Since then more than a million Tibetans - 20% of the population - are believed to have perished by starvation, execution, and imprisonment. Many thousands more, including Tibet's spiritual and political leader, the 14th Dalai Lama, have been driven into exile."
