Stop the destruction of the Jokhang temple and the Barkor de Lhasa neighborhood
Destroy any hope of continuity of the Tibetan lifestyle. The Tibetan people are defined, largely, for their religion. One of the most sacred places of Tibetan Buddhism is Jokhang's temple, which is one of the oldest structures that remains standing in the capital, Lhasa. He was declared a Humanity Heritage of the UN in 2000. The temple was built in the year 642.
The Chinese government intends to destroy the Jokhang temple, Together with the Barkor, that is to say, The entire Tibetan ethnic neighborhood in which they are located. Instead, The Chinese government plans to build new office buildings and shopping centers. It is as if the Italian government decided to destroy the Vatican to lift skyscraper. The effect would be very similar.
The Tibetan community aspires to a peaceful co-existence, NO TO INDEPENDENCE. By destroying the Johkang and Barkor temples, el gobierno chino está llevando a cabo una "limpieza étnica".
Please, Do not stay aside while they do. Make them know that you do not agree with the destruction of a culture and that the loss of Tibetan culture would be a big mistake . Besides, If the Chinese are willing to destroy this important cultural center in their own country, hará que otros países se pregunten qué quieren decir los chinos cuando piden "equilibrio" In his deal.
