關於表演者
之一>>>
Techung是一位著名的西藏歌手，目前居住在美國洛杉磯。他不僅擅長西藏的傳統音樂及歌劇，也創作現代西藏歌曲。不管是當代的或者是傳統的音樂表演，Techung期待西藏的音樂在藏人社區重新流行起來、豐富的西藏文化音樂表現也能夠讓全世界聽見。Techung Band的成員包括：Tashi Sharzur、Michel Tyabji、Kito Rodriguez、Bryan Velasco。
2003年，在德蘭薩拉所舉辦的第一屆的【西藏音樂大獎】（Tibetan Music Awards）上，Techung的創作被選為「最佳現代傳統音樂」。之後，他的音樂也被收錄在「聖母峰」（Everest）、 「夢想的拉薩」（Dreaming Lhasa）等暢銷的電影中。
Techung悠揚渾厚的歌聲，會給人一種清風拂面吹來，置身在西藏高原的感受。適逢世界人權宣言60週年，藉由【自由之音．西藏之聲（ Tibet Freedom Concert in Taipei 2008）】，希望Techung為台灣、西藏甚至全世界支持人權的人，捎來和平的訊息。
之二>>>
陳永淘（CHEN Yung Tao），所有人都叫他阿淘哥，是台灣最重要的客家歌手及創作者之一。 「阿淘哥歷經四十年豐富的生活經驗後，不斷沉澱對人生社會深刻體會而創作，內容包括對人性、社會的深刻反省及批判，並以幽默、嘲諷的手法，抒發人間實象。歌曲探討的主題寬廣，有對個人童年生活的懷念、對社會扭曲發展的唾棄、對文明慾望的質疑、對台灣原住民族群的關切，以及對現代人性失落的悲鳴。他的歌，有畫面，有生動的鄉土味，這種觸動的感覺，鮮活而真實 。」 （參考吳聲淼「 新客家童謠創作者──陳永淘」一文）
Tibetan Youth Congress Statement on the 60th Anniversary of the World Human Rights Day
TYC Statement on the 60th Anniversary of the World Human Rights Day
Date: 10th December, 2008
The Human Rights Day is not just an occasion to celebrate, it is also one of stocktaking to assess the progress made in the protection of the basic rights of the entire human family in the world at large - especially in the small and weak nations. Today, as we observe the 60th anniversary, it is also an appropriate occasion to reflect on both the efforts and achievements of the UN, so far, for the protection of human rights in the Chinese occupied Tibet and around the world, with a view to prepare the agenda for the future in that direction.
As we commemorate the International Human Rights Day and the 60th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, China's continued colonial occupation of Tibet remains the single largest challenge to the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. China continues to carry out its policy of genocide with impunity as Tibetans, Uigyurs of the East Turkistan, People of Southern Mongolia and Manchuria face a grim future under its colonial occupation. The mass migration of Chinese settlers into Tibet has marginalized and disenfranchised Tibetans making us a minority in our own country. China's transfer of millions of Chinese into Tibet to strengthen its occupation is leading to the extinction of the national identity of the Tibetan nation. The accelerated exploitation of Tibet's natural resources threatens Tibet's fragile environment.
We cannot contemplate the urgency for the need to resolve the issue of Tibet without understanding the vastness of the increasing deteriorating situation inside Tibet, the human rights crisis and without looking at the long history of the six decades of the brutal occupation under which Tibetans have suffered tremendously. China's colonial occupation of Tibet has resulted in the deaths of over 1.2 million Tibetans, destruction of over 6000 monasteries and the displacement of over 100,000 Tibetans who have been disrooted from their homes and forced to flee into exile following 1959. For almost as long as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been in place, Tibetans inside Tibet have been deprived of their civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. The continued detention of the 11th Panchen Lama, Gendhun Choekyi Nyima is one illustrative example of China's blatant disregard for human rights.
The historic peaceful movement by Tibetans inside all three traditional provinces of Tibet since March 10th 2008 and their calls for independence demonstrate that Tibetans have never wavered in their determination to continue their struggle for the inherent rights and dignity of our people. Their nonviolent protests reflects their dissatisfaction with the status quo and demanded China to address the deeply held grievances of the Tibetan people.
China's merciless use of force and the brutal crackdown inside Tibet to crush the peaceful protests further infuriated the people of Tibet. This resulted in subsequent solidarity protests by Tibetans and Tibet supporters around the world. Eight months have passed since the demonstrations but Tibet still remains sealed, over two hundred deaths of Tibetans have been reported and thousands of Tibetans have disappeared. China continues to hold thousands of Tibetans in undisclosed locations and refuses to disclose their whereabouts and also to acknowlege their detention. China has rejected repeated calls from other governments and Internationally recognised NGO's for access into Tibet to hide its continuing endemic use of torture, abuse and terror.
30 Tibetans last April and Over 55 Tibetans in November this year have been unfairly sentenced by China for their participation in peaceful protests against China. The present trial proceedings are China's attempt to decieve the international community to show that China is a nation of laws and hide the fact that it continues to use coercive measures of subversion to silence dissent. The denial of a fair trial to Tibetans who have been subjected to unjust and harsh sentences for their participation in peaceful protests handed down by China's illegitimate courts in Tibet further illustrates that Tibetans cannot find justice in Chinese run courts that act as the weapon of the oppressors to persecute and prosecute Tibetan leaders, political activists and any Tibetan who voices dissent. Furthermore, China's illegitimate courts and state agents enforce an illegal military occupation of Tibet and function solely as a means of maintaining that occupation and repressing any and all resistance and oppositon. The courts undermine the Tibetan people's political activity and continue to make a mockery of justice.
Since the adoption of Universal Declaration of Human rights in 1948, the UN General Assembly has passed three resolutions on Tibet in 1959, 1961 and 1965 which were still lying without any implementation. And on the other side, China who has voted to adopt the Universal Declaration in 1948, and pledged to uphold human rights through international agreements and its own constitution continues to ignore and violate all the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other Covenants it has signed. Therefore, we appeal to the United Nations and its member states to take concrete actions against China to resolve the issue of Tibet before it is too late.
The meagre response from foreign governments to the continuing crimes against humanity and cultural genocide inside Tibet without meaningful international force and serious pressure on China has emboldened China to continue its brutal occupation of Tibet.We must ensure that those directing the atrocities in Tibet are brought to justice. We appeal to the International community to not remain indifferent to the sufferings of the Tibetan people and to continue your support for the just struggle of the Tibetans.
On this Human Rights day, we honor the never surrendering Tibetans inside Tibet and the political prisoners who continue to fight for our common goal. The constant defiance of Chinese rule by our brave brethrens inside Tibet is our only strength that transcends all material bounds and touches the deeply rooted human need for a meaningful existence and articulates the aspirations and the grievances of the six million Tibetans inside Tibet. We who are in the free world resolve to continue our struggle from exile and overcome any challenges that lie ahead. We resolve to strengthen our democracy in exile and renew our commitment to struggle for the independence of Tibet even at the cost of one's life.

50 Years Dream of Homeland, Half a Century in Exile
50 Years Dream of Homeland, Half a Century in ExileTIBET! You should know……
Introduction>>
60 years ago on December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”, to promote and protect Human Rights of the world.
59 years ago, China made a forceful entry by devastating and condemning the Tibetan people, culture and religion and completely suppressed the Tibetan’s human rights beginning in 1949.
19 years ago on December 10, 1989 the spiritual leader of Tibet, 14th Dalai Lama was awarded Nobel Peace Prize for his work on peace and non-violence. He advocated peaceful solutions based upon tolerance and mutual respect in order to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of Tibet.
Acts of Violence>>
Tibet was an independent nation. Tibet had its own government, its own language, currency, postal system and legal system. Tibet also had her own unique culture and religion.
Ever since the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1949, it has caused:
In the 1970’s
1.2 million Tibetans had died as a result of the Chinese occupation (approximately 20% of the total Tibetan population)
6,259 monasteries have been totally destroyed. Only 13 notable monasteries remain.
In the year 1997
At least 1,216 political prisoners were confined.
2,827 Tibetan Buddhist monks were forced to leave their monasteries.
165 people were arrested as they refused to abandon their religion.
About 10 people died under severe torture in Tibet.
9 monks and nuns died of severe persecution.
March 2008 Demonstration
Over 200 Tibetans died as a result of their demonstration.
1,200 people were beaten.
6,000 people were arrested.
Thousands have “disappeared”.
All the monasteries are now in complete control by the Chinese troops.
In Exile>>
Tibet has 6 million people. In 1959, approximately 80,000 Tibetan refugees followed His Holiness the Dalai Lama and left from their homeland to go into exile in India.
Since the 1990’s, Tibetan exiles to India amounted to 3,000 each year.
Today, over 130,000 Tibetans are in exile.
Conclusions>>
Tibet was invaded by China
Tibetans have been in exile for over half a century
There is a severe suppression on Tibetan’s human rights, Tibetan culture and religion is going under genocide.
Despite Tibetan’s desire for human rights, religion and national autonomy, China has continued to use military force in Tibet.
Tibetan people’s resistance is not against China, but to display their desire to protect the legitimate rights of the Tibetan people and their rich and valuable culture.

五十年來家國夢 半個世紀流亡淚
西藏！您可知道……
引言>>
60年前的今天，聯合國大會決議通過「世界人權宣言」，促進及保護世界各國人權。（1948年12月10日）
59年前，中共開始入侵西藏後，推行摧毀西藏民族和文化的政策，蔑視西藏人民的宗教信仰，徹底踐踏西藏人權。(1949年)
19年前的今天，西藏精神領袖第十四世達賴喇嘛因長期推崇和平、非暴力的理念，榮獲諾貝爾和平獎。並主張，為了保存西藏人民的歷史和文化遺產，應基於容忍和相互尊重的原則，和平解決問題。（1989年12月10日）
暴行>>
西藏原是一個完全獨立的國家，西藏有它自己的政府、自己的語言、貨幣，郵政系統，及法律系統。西藏也有它自己獨特的傳統文化及宗教信仰。
但從1949年中國軍隊入侵西藏開始……造成：
到1970年代
120萬名藏人由於中國侵略而死亡，約佔西藏總人口20%
6,259座寺院被完全摧毀，現僅存13間較著名的寺院
1997年當年
至少1,216名政治犯被關押在監獄或勞動營
2,827名西藏佛教僧侶被趕出寺院
165人因拒絕放棄信仰而被逮捕
10餘人在西藏遭受酷刑折磨致死
9名僧尼因不堪暴虐而死亡
2008年3月事件
200多名藏人因參與抗議活動而喪生
1,200人被打傷
6,000餘人被捕
上千人失蹤
所有的寺院都被中國軍隊管制
流亡>>
1959年約80,000名西藏人民跟隨達賴喇嘛離開自己的國家，流亡印度。
從此不間斷地流亡印度，特別90年代開始，每年都有3,000名藏人逃亡國外。
現今約有130,000名西藏人民流亡在外。
結語>>
時至今日
西藏完全被中國侵佔，
西藏人在流亡中已度過了整整半個世紀。
西藏的基本人權、傳統文化，和宗教幾乎蕩然無存。
西藏人雖然和平、公開地表達要求基本人權、信仰自由、以及民族自治的訴求，但中國政府從未停止對此的武力鎮壓。
西藏人民的抗爭，並非與中國或中國人民抗衡，只是為了保護及促進西藏人民合法的人權、保存西藏豐富及珍貴的世界文化遺產而努力。
