![]() | 奴隸 制度 监狱"四大酷刑" 平民被农奴主挖去双眼,终身残疾, 三等九级人 http://newschecker.blogspot.com/2007/10/dalai-lama-hero-in-western-world.html Western media portrayed Dalai Lama is a peaceful person. You need to look at these pictures and video! "In the Dalai Lama's Tibet, torture and mutilation -- including eye gouging, the pulling out of tongues, hamstringing, and amputation of arms and legs -- were favored punishments inflicted upon thieves, runaway serfs, and other "criminals." Some Western visitors to Old Tibet remarked on the number of amputees to be seen. Since it was against Buddhist teachings to take human life, some offenders were severely lashed and then "left to God" in the freezing night to die. "The parallels between Tibet and medieval Europe are striking," concludes Tom Grunfeld in his book on Tibet. Theocratic despotism had been the rule for generations. An English visitor to Tibet in 1895, Dr. A. L. Waddell, wrote that the Tibetan people were under the "intolerable tyranny of monks" and the devil superstitions they had fashioned to terrorize the people. In 1904 Perceval Landon described the Dalai Lama's rule as "an engine of oppression" and "a barrier to all human improvement." In 1937, another visitor, Spencer Chapman, wrote, "The Lamaist monk does not spend his time in ministering to the people or educating them, nor do laymen take part in or even attend the monastery services. The beggar beside the road is nothing to the monk. Knowledge is the jealously guarded prerogative of the monasteries and is used to increase their influence and wealth." Does the West want to support another Taliban? There are good reasons and tons of books on the separation of church and state.You people on the bandwagon blasting China might want to read those books first. One respects the belief on "incarnation". But it seems that should be reserved for choosing a religion leader rather than choosing a government head. Democracy builds on accountability-government officials are accountable for the voters. The voters can deny their leaders positions through voting. Not sure about DaLaiLLam's thoughts on democracy. And democracy also builds on educated voters. Before 1959, the illiteracy rate was 95% and common Tibetans seldom got chance to be educated. Do you expect people who can't read to understand how a modern government operates and how to hold their leaders accountable? |

![]() | The Duchess of York Turkey Orphanage (part 1 of 4) The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has sparked a diplomatic row between Britain and Turkey with a documentary she filmed on state run orphanages in Turkey. The Turkish government is threatening the Duchess with legal action over the film which has just aired in Britain. The film is an expose of the conditions that disabled children are forced to endure in Turkish orphanages. But the Turkish Government has accused the Duchess of using the film to run a smear campaign against Turkey, just it is trying to join the European Union. In London, Stephanie Kennedy reports. STEPHANIE KENNEDY: Wearing a black wig and scarf, the undercover Duchess secretly filmed in some of Turkey's orphanages for children with mental disabilities to see firsthand the conditions. (Extract from documentary) SARAH FERGUSON: But it is also the smell. It is that smell. It gets into your bones. REPORTER: Terribly overwhelming. SARAH FERGUSON: It was, wasn't it? REPORTER: It really was overwhelming. SARAH FERGUSON: I think it was really important that we went into that place upstairs. It was just so degrading - the whole thing for these poor people. (End of extract) STEPHANIE KENNEDY: The documentary shows one boy who is kept in a box because he's hyperactive. SARAH FERGUSON: And I saw children with suffering from Down Syndrome and other kinds of disabilities. They are fed on their backs and given no love and no support. There was one child when I was walking through the orphanage which was crawling on his back to get a gleam of sunlight from an open window. When I passed him he said good morning to me. He speaks English. There was nothing wrong with this boy. He just had a disability in his legs. STEPHANIE KENNEDY: 18-year-old Princess Eugenie accompanied her mother to some of the orphanages and she was clearly moved by what she saw. Tears well up in her eyes and she says she feels angry. PRINCESS EUGENIE: Well, I was completely overwhelmed. I mean I walked outside and there was a lady who was looking at me with these huge eyes. Just smiling from ear to ear and I was just, she was just so kind and I came in here looking like just, you know to be nice, see what is happening and she was the one who gave me my day. STEPHANIE KENNEDY: Even before the documentary went to air Turkey accused the Duchess of smearing Turkey's image. Authorities say she is trying to sabotage their European Union membership bid. Turkey's Minister for Women and Family Affairs is Nimet Cubukcu. She says Turkey has nothing to hide and she's accused the Duchess of York of deception. NIMET CUBUKDU (translated): Recently representations from the Council of Europe visited these orphanages without warning. Sarah Ferguson wanted to go there too but her request was declined politely because of on-going repair works at the orphanages. Still she went there - circumventing Turkish law - violating our legal system and our constitution by doing so. She abused the trust of the volunteers and charity workers there. She deceived these people by saying she would pay substantial donations. STEPHANIE KENNEDY: While the duchess is no longer a member of the Royal Family her daughters are, and this diplomatic spat is an embarrassment for their grandmother, the Queen. But Sarah Ferguson denies any political motives. SARAH FERGUSON: This is my personal point of view. I am not a member of the Royal Family. I am not a politician. I went in there to highlight the plight of children and I have. Now it seems that I have embarrassed the Turkish Government. Well, let's hope that I have embarrassed them enough in order for them to make changes in the welfare of their children. I think it is important for the children that are locked in those cages. I really do. I think it is vital. They have got no-one standing up for them and they can't stand up for themselves. Will somebody please do something? OK, I will. STEPHANIE KENNEDY: Turkey's Foreign Minister plans to raise the issue during talks with his British counterpart in London later today. In London this is Stephanie Kennedy reporting for The World Today. |
