聖尊達賴喇嘛和藏人們50年來為了繼承自己古老的宗教、文化、語言、民族特性進行了非暴力鬥爭。如今,非但沒有解決西藏的問題,反而對中共對西藏境內藏人仍然採取虐待與鎮壓。因此,我們作為諾貝爾和平獎得主,我們非常擔憂西藏人民能否繼續生存下去。我們支援聖尊達賴喇嘛用非暴力的途徑來尋求西藏名副其實的自治。
在西藏獨特文化中包涵了慈悲與寬容等優良的普世價值,同時,也包涵著整個世界一切物體以及眾生都相互依存的理念,我們正在努力把21世紀創建比以往更和平與正義的人類社會。相信西藏文化對此能做出一定的貢獻。
西藏人民雖然正在經歷一個黑暗和艱難時期,但能夠保存自己的優良傳統。而且在精神等諸多方面為人類做出了寶貴的貢獻。聖尊達賴喇嘛的智慧和優勝的道德力量,對世界做出了極大的貢獻,所以,我們向他表達讚賞與支援解決西藏問題是應該的。
我們呼籲中國政府邁出實質性解決西藏問題步伐,立即停止對西藏實施的西藏人民在自己的土地上邊緣化與貧困化的政策。
如果,按中國的《憲法》規定的給全體藏人名副其實的自治,這將是對國家和平與統一事業的一大進步。
我們讚賞藏人們在遭受難以想像得苦難中所具有的無畏精神。為了西藏獨特的文化能夠在西藏境內恢復發展。西藏文化以世界文化的重要組成部分而延續。我們呼籲所有愛好和平的人們給予支援!

『國際西藏郵報2009年10月31日達蘭薩拉報導』10月29日星期四,歐盟發表聲明譴責,10月20日處決洛桑堅贊和洛亞,2名因參與2008年拉薩示威抗議,同時遭到處決的還有另外2名藏人。
歐盟輪值主席國瑞典,也是27個歐盟成員國的代表,指出,“歐盟尊重中國的權利,把那些暴力事件應該負責之人繩之以法,但重申該國長期反對在任何情況下的死刑判決。”在任何條件之下”添加關注“的進行試驗,特別是關於是否權使正當程序,尊重公平審判所應有的保障。“
聲明中還呼籲中共當局減刑,或減少不必要的懲罰,如參與拉薩示威西藏人剩餘的死刑判決,以及“完全廢除死刑,第一步就是,建立停止償付的辦法,如聯合國大會在其62/149和63/168所呼籲的條款。“
歐盟聲明指出,除了27個正式成員國外,表示,“候選國土耳其(Turkey),克羅地亞(Croatia)和前南斯拉夫的馬其頓共和國 (Macedonia),上述這些國家的穩定與結盟進程的國家外,以及潛在的候選國阿爾巴尼亞(Albania),波斯尼亞(Bosnia)和黑塞哥維那 (Herzegovina),黑山(Montenegro)和歐洲自由貿易聯盟成員國冰島(Iceland),列支敦士登(Liechtenstein) 和挪威(Norway),歐洲經濟區成員,以及摩爾多瓦共和國(Moldova),皆贊同此一聲明。“
中共上週五發出一份針對此聲明的反對回應。 “我們對歐盟的聲明,表示強烈不滿和堅決反對。”中國外交部發言人馬朝旭在新聞記者會上表示說。
馬朝旭說,中國的審判是“公平和公開的”,並補充說,“這是中國的內政和司法主權,絕不容許其他國家的干涉。”
英國不是歐盟成員國,所以未列入該聲明之中,但於週一時,英國國會針對此一處決,向中國施壓。
“眾議院對於2009年10月20日在拉薩,以司法處決洛亞和洛桑堅贊的行徑,感到震驚和悲痛,” 由跨黨派援藏團體主席哈利科恩(Harry Cohen),在議會宣讀“每日優先動議案”。
該議案呼籲英國政府採取措施,確保中共當局對於其餘被判死刑的審查案件公平公開,他們均被控參與去年3月的抗議。
科恩和跨黨派小組的國會議員要求英國政府証實報導,是否另外2名藏人(潘吉和一個身份不明的囚犯)也與堅贊和洛亞,同時遭到處決;如果該報導確實,也要查証,依據何法律執行處決。
國會議員也請英國外交大臣大衛.米布(David Millbrand),直接進行每日優先動議案。

Saturday, 31 October 2009 Amy Elmgren, The Tibet Post International
On Thursday, 29 October, the European Union issued a statement condemning the 20 October executions of Lobsang Gyaltsen and Loyak, who were sentenced to death along with two other Tibetans for their alleged role in the 2008 Lhasa protests.
The Swedish EU Presidency, representing the 27 EU member nations, stated that, "The EU respects China's right to bring those responsible for the violence to justice but reaffirms its longstanding opposition to the death penalty under all circumstances," adding a concern about "the conditions under which the trials were conducted, especially with regard to whether due process and other safeguards for a fair trial were respected."
The statement further called on Chinese authorities to commute, or reduce to less severe punishments, all remaining death sentences for those Tibetans involved in the Lhasa riots, as well as "to abolish the death penalty completely and, as a first step, to establish a moratorium as urged by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolutions 62/149 and 63/168."
The EU statement noted that in addition to the 27 official member states, "The Candidate Countries Turkey, Croatia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Countries of the Stabilisation and Association Process and potential candidates Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and the EFTA countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, members of the European Economic Area, as well as the Republic of Moldova align themselves with this declaration."
The Chinese expressed a hostile reaction to the statement on Friday. "We are strongly dissatisfied with and firmly oppose the EU statement," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu stated in a news release.
Ma asserted that the Chinese trails were "fair and open", adding that, "This was China's internal affair and judicial sovereignty which allows no other country to interfere with."
The United Kingdom is not an EU member nation and was not included in the statement, but the British Parliament made its own appeal to pressure China on Monday.
"The House is shocked and saddened by the news of the deplorable judicial executions of Lobsang Gyaltsen and Loyak in Lhasa on 20 October 2009," read the Parliament's "Early Day Motion", which was forwarded by Harry Cohen, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Tibet.
The motion called on the British government to take measures to ensure that Chinese authorities review the cases of those remaining Tibetans who have received the death penalty for their alleged participation in last year's March protest.
Cohen and a cross-party group of MPs requested that the British government obtain clarification on reports that two further Tibetans (Penkyi and an unidentified prisoner) were executed at the same time as Gyaltsen and Loyak; and, if the report is verified, under what legal processes these executions were carried out.
The MPs have also addressed British Foreign Secretary David Millbrand directly to follow up on the Early Day motion.

歐盟指責中國處死拉薩騷亂2藏人
20091030
(中央社記者周盈成日內瓦29日專電)中國日前處決兩名因去年3月西藏騷亂被定罪的藏人,歐洲聯盟今天發出譴責。
由歐盟輪值主席國瑞典發出的聲明說,「歐盟指責近日對兩名西藏人洛桑堅贊(Lobsang Gyaltsen)和洛亞(Loyak)的處決」。
聲明說,歐盟向來反對使用死刑,即使在死刑仍存在的情況下,國際承認的最低人權標準也應受到尊重,包括盡一切可能來保障公平的審判及充足的辯護。
歐盟「重申關切其審判進行的條件,尤其關於正當法律程序和其他確保公平審判的保障措施是否受到尊重」。
歐盟表示,今年5月,當拉薩市中級人民法院對這兩人及其他被告宣判死刑時,歐盟基於反對死刑立場,就已呼籲減刑。歐盟現在持續呼籲中國對所有其他被控涉入拉薩騷亂的死囚減刑。
歐盟並呼籲中國完全廢除死刑,至少第一步先依照聯合國大會的兩項決議,暫停執行死刑。
土耳其、克羅埃西亞、馬其頓、阿爾巴尼亞、波士尼亞-赫塞哥維納、冰島、列支敦斯登、挪威、摩爾多瓦等國也加入歐盟的聲明。
被控縱火的洛桑堅贊和洛亞,是中國官方首次證實因去年拉薩事件被處死的僅有的兩名犯人,但一些西藏流亡組織指還有其他人被處決。

【挪威西藏之聲10月28日報導】歐洲議會支持西藏組織強烈譴責中共當局近期處決4名參與去年反中共統治西藏示威活動藏人,并要求歐洲議會就此事件召開緊急會議。
歐洲議會議員、歐洲議會西藏問題協調小組主席托馬斯·曼表示,他們要求中國政府就4名示威藏人執行槍決的問題上做出詳細解釋,并指出,如果中國政府這次對4名藏人秘密執行槍決與之前承諾改善人權的奧運會相提并論,那更是令人無法想象的舉動。
托馬斯·曼說,他們將要求歐洲議會就中共政府處決藏人的這一問題上召開緊急會議,并就此制定一項決議案。
此外,美國紐約和新澤西地區的流亡藏人昨天(27日)在紐約聯合國總部和中共使館前,舉行大規模示威活動,抗議中共當局槍決4名西藏示威者。
紐約與新澤西地方西藏青年會宣傳負責人丹增德吉向本台介紹說,40多名流亡藏人和支持西藏人士抬著寫有被槍決的西藏示威者名字的4個棺材,從昨天當地時間上午12點到下午4點間在紐約聯合國總部舉行了抗議活動,隨後前往當地中共使館前,高呼“停止屠殺藏人”等口號進行示威,當晚還舉行了燭光游行活動。
此外,位於美國洛杉磯的數十名藏人、漢人和西方人士,也於本周一手持抗議橫幅和西藏國旗,在當地中共使館前舉行了大型抗議活動。
另據大紀元報道,西藏人民議會部分議員和中國知名民運人士參加了在洛杉磯舉行的示威游行活動。中國著名的民運人士魏京生表示,所謂3·14是中共的陰謀,他們挑動、操縱,甚至派人出去煽風點火,從而有藉口鎮壓藏人的和平游行。
魏京生說,“這是一個政治事件,真正的暴徒是中共。他們殺害這四個人,實質上是為了威嚇老百姓,是官方恐怖主義行為,匪徒一樣的暴行,所以我們當然要來抗議。”
在印度南部,300多名流亡藏人昨天(27日)聚集在麥索城市,對中共外交部長楊潔篪到訪展開大規模抗議活動。活動主辦者之一貝拉國比地方西藏婦女會會長卓瑪央金表示,他們強烈抗議中共政府近期槍決4名西藏示威者,同時也明確歷史上從未有過所謂印度和中國的邊界,因此沒有解決西藏問題,就沒有資格舉行所謂的印中邊界會談,也不會談出結果來。
此外,班加羅爾地方西藏青年會成員巴桑向本台表示,昨天因抗議中共外長而遭捕的14名流亡藏人,於當晚9點30分鐘左右被釋放。

The regional Tibetan Youth congress spearheaded a protest yesterday by holding a 12-hour hunger strike to condemn the executions of four Tibetans by China. The four Tibetans had been allegedly booked for taking part in last years protests in March.
Tibetans residing in Dharamsala are outraged over the execution. A candle light vigil was also observed in memory of the martyrs in the evening.
A monk said, we are here today to show our solidarity for the people who are suffering in Tibet and especially those who are sentenced to death in Tibet.
The Tibetans also organized a mass signature campaign and called for the intervention of international community to condemn the death penalties being meted out to helpless Tibetans in China.
According to the President of the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress, Mr.Sonam Dorjee, China is the only country where maximum number of death penalties have been given. So, we believe it is the time that US Government, UN Human Rights Council and European Commission to pressurize, oppose and strongly condemn such kind of death penalties being given to innocent Tibetans and ethnic Chinese.
RTYC Dharamshala also organize a Prayer ceremony in afternoon to express solidarity and homage to martyrs of the Tibetan freedom struggle on Sunday. Around more than 300 Tibetan including monks and nuns gathered at Tsuglakhang Temple to offer prayers in memory of those who lost their lives fighting for the Tibetan cause.
Tenzin Dicky, Vice President of RTYC said that we are praying for all those who died, who have sacrificed their life without any conditions for their country. Just to raise their voice they have sacrificed their life and that's why we are praying for their souls to rest in peace. The congregation also condemned the execution of four Tibetan activists by China for their alleged role in last year's Lhasa riots.
Though, China is yet to confirm the executions, according to the information received by Dharamsala-based Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD), as many as four Tibetans were executed for their alleged involvement in the 2008 anti-China unrest in Lhasa.
Office of Regional Tibetan Youth Congress, Dharamshala.

Phayul[Tuesday, October 27, 2009 20:02]
Dharamsala, October 27 – The Karnataka police have arrested 14 Tibetan youths following separate incidents of protest in Bangalore earlier today as the foreign ministers of China, Russia and India met for the ninth RIC trilateral meeting.
The president of the Tibetan Youth Congress, Tsewang Rinzin, told phayul that students from the Bangalore regional Tibetan Youth Congress were protesting the visit of Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jeichi. “The police had anticipated protests by Tibetans. Police teams had even arrived at the Tibetan Youth hostel at Kormangla a few days ago but the students had already dispersed into various parts of the city to participate in demonstration today.
Twelve students were taken into custody this morning as they were protesting Yang’s visit. Later in the day two more were arrested at Leela Palace. The two were Gendun Kyab, a first year college student, and Kunchok Agar, a third year college student.
The students yelled, "shame on China, China lie people die", as they were being pushed into waiting police vans. The students were furious at China for the recent execution of four Tibetans who took part in last year's protests in Tibet. A Tibetan student said Indian external affairs minister is holding meeting with a representative of a regime that has blood in his hands."No doubt we owe a great deal to India, but I think India is morally wrong in not condemning China for the killings in Tibet and human rights violations across Tibet.
