Here are the Tibet-related headlines for today:
The New York Times reports on a new exhibit at Beijing’s Cultural Palace of Nationalities that marks the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan Uprising. They write: “With its display cases of gruesome torture devices, grainy film scenes of mutilated faces and the ‘liberation’ shots of beaming Tibetans, the exhibit is a propagandist tour de force that reinforces the Communist Party’s unbending version of history during what is referred to here as a ‘sensitive time.’”
The Boston Globe writes about Dr. Michael Grodin of the Boston University School of Public Health, who has for fifteen years been treating Tibetan exiles for post-traumatic stress by blending western and Tibetan medicines.
The Associated Press reports that Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao “offered an unqualified defense Friday of his government’s policies in Tibet, ignoring questions about a massive security buildup in the Himalayan region.”
