PRESS RELEASE

REPORT OF THE TIBET DEMONSTRATION ON 5th OCTOBER 2010 IN BRUSSELS, BELGIUM.

On the 4th and the 5th October 2010 the ASEM 8 summit took place in Brussels (Belgium) and on the 6th October the EU-China summit. Since 1996 the ASEM is a biennual appointment between the leaders in Europe and Asia. Those regions represent 58 % of global population, 50 % of global GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and over 60% of the global trade. With these gatherings the participants also want to inspire the world community. They seek to strengthen their political dialogue, enhance their trade and investment relationship, expand people to people and cultural exchanges and further develop ASEM.

Before the summit, European Commissioner (a Belgian politician) Karel De Gucht has confirmed that human rights issues would be discussed at the EU-China Summit, despite likely attempts by the Chinese government to block any mention of Tibet. In his statement of 21st September, European Commissioner De Gucht called on Beijing “to allow the Tibetan people to fully exercise their political, religious, economic and social rights” guaranteed by the Chinese Constitution.

At the occasion of these summits, in which also the Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao took part, a coalition of Belgian Tibet groups have demonstrated in Brussels on the 5th October 2010. The manifestation was organized by International Campaign for Tibet and Vrienden van Tibet. As the delegation of European and Asian leaders visited BOZAR (Centre for Fine Arts) that day, the demonstration was held at Kunstberg, that is very close, only a few 100 m from BOZAR. The Chinese delegation was definitely aware of the demonstration and was not happy at all.

With the demonstration, the Tibet groups urged the EU Foreign Policy Chief Baroness Ashton to raise European concern about Tibet directly with the Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao. “Baroness Ashton has visited China twice and has a good understanding of the political situation, including knowledge of the repression in Tibet” said Vincent Metten, EU Policy Director of International Campaign for Tibet. “It is vital that she takes this opportunity to address the current crisis in Tibet with the Chinese Prime Minister, and also seeks to move China forward on dialogue with Tibetan representatives of the Dalai Lama. These are issues of great concern for the European public including many Parliamentarians.”

The coalition of human rights and Tibet support groups urged the EU and its member states to work toward a joint statement at the summit that includes a paragraph to encourage the resumption of dialogue between the Envoys of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Chinese officials that leads to a mutually-agreeable solution for Tibet. In addition, because the European relationship with China is so important, the coalition of NGOs also call upon the EU to establish a Tibet Liaison Officer at its embassy in Beijing. International Campaign for Tibet also proposes that Baroness Ashton seeks a briefing from the exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama on the current situation following the summit.

At 11 a.m. about 50 participants gathered at Kunstberg in the centre of the city of Brussels. As the ASEM 8 summit took place at the Royal Palace in Brussels (near BOZAR and Kunstberg), the Police closed off everything hermetically in a radius around the Palace. Security measures were huge. The demonstration made a slow start, also because of the traffic problems everywhere in the city. Many demonstrators couldn’t get there on time. Nevertheless, during the demonstration that lasted two hours, more and more participants joined. The group expanded and about 150 people took part in the demonstration.

The following organizations participated in the manifestation: the Tibetan Community in Belgium, United Nations for a Free Tibet (UNFFT), International Campaign for Tibet, Vrienden van Tibet, Les Amis du Tibet, RTYC Belgium, Tibetan Development Fund (TDF), Lights on Tibet and Vereiner der Tibeter Deutschland (VTD). Mr. Lobsang Sherab of this Tibet group in Germany came specially from Frankfurt to Brussels together with Mrs. Evelin Ptassek, a very active individual Tibet supporter in Germany. They wanted to show their support, and they drove 4 hours in the morning to get there. VTD supports the ideas and goals of UNFFT and VTD is one of the Tibet groups that works together with UNFFT. Dennis Barbion, UNFFT Ambassador for Belgium and Europe, highly appreciated the presence of Mrs. Ptassek and Mr. Lobsang Sherab in Brussels.

In the demonstration, the lack of respect for human rights and freedom in Tibet was emphasized. With the visit of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in Belgium and this summit, the Tibet groups once again expressed their concern about the living conditions of the Tibetans in Tibet, the harsh oppression by the Chinese government and the human rights violations. Apart from the trade and economics, the human rights in Tibet should also be discussed. This summit in Brussels would be an ideal opportunity.

In the manifestation, placards and banners with the following inscriptions were shown: “The truth about Tibet = crimes against humanity”, “Stop oppression, torture, poverty and discrimination in Tibet”, “Tibet is not a part of China” and “Freedom should not be written with blood”. The Tibetans also showed their support for H.H. the Dalai lama: “Long live H.H. the Dalai Lama, Save Tibet, Free Tibet”.

The following slogans were shouted: “What we want, we want freedom”, “No human rights in Tibet”, “Stop killing in Tibet”, “Out out out China out”, “Shame shame China shame”, “Wen Jiabao free Tibet now”, “EU wake up wake up”, “Tibet belongs to Tibetans” and “UNO we want justice”.

The demonstration was peaceful but there was a small incident with the Police at the end of the manifestation. One Tibetan had very minor injuries.
