Lying sick on the bed and checking updates of the
global action day against InterContinental Hotel Group for their plan to open a
luxury hotel resort in the capital of my occupied country. Students for a Free Tibet-UK and Delhi have
successfully completed their actions. I couldn’t be part of the action today
but that doesn’t mean that I will keep my mouth shut against the injustice and the
unfair deal between China and InterContinental Hotel Group. This physical illness
can’t stop me from raising my voice against Red China. They occupied my
country, murdered my people, kicked me out from my own country, destroyed
everything that signifies my culture, turned my heavenly country into a bloodshed
bath and now they are selling it. Can I keep my mouth SHUT for what they have
done and are doing to me! While Tibetans in Tibet are still under constant
repression and suffering, China is trying to fool the world portraying a
heavenly Tibet through these kind of projects in the name of so called “development”.
China has been diplomatic and has given lame excuses to the world for what they
have done to Tibetans and same goes for the deal they have made. They are being
diplomatic again knowing that this will give legitimacy to their occupation.
I want IHG to know that you are heading yourself to be the
part of human right abuses, destruction of Tibetan culture and oppression of
the Tibetans and you are literally supporting the Chinese propaganda and intentionally
covering the destruction of the Tibetan culture in Tibet. This is why you are
being targeted by Tibetans and Tibet supporters around the world and we will
never stop from troubling you until and unless you withdraw from the deal you
have made. We will never stop from pulling off your legs for marketing “Lhasa
Paradise”, which clearly gives message to the world that Lhasa is a happy and
contented place where Tibetan culture is respected, preserved and protected while
it is exactly the OPPOSITE! If IHG is not blind or deaf for humanity and morality
they should immediately withdraw from the deal with China.
Tibetans are unlikely to be benefited from the project since
99% percent of tourists in Tibet are Chinese and Tibetans have been
marginalised from the capital. Only Chinese immigrants in Tibet and the tourists
are going to reap the benefits of the development. Therefore, when any
development inside my country doesn’t guarantee any benefits for my countrymen I
feel there is no need of that development and I would neither welcome nor
accept it, I would only welcome them when my countrymen invite them and not
have them as uninvited guests on my land. “IHG! YOU ARE NOT INVITED TO MY
COUNTRY! PLEASE GET OUT OF IT!”
