Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, China’s representatives described the events of 30 September on that country’s border in terms suggesting that they had been attacked by a band of Tibetans and had had – and with difficulty – to defend themselves.
On this occasion – unlike in many other instances – a video is in existence to clearly demonstrate that the opposite is the case. This video shows that the Tibetan refugees did not attack; that, on the contrary, the group of people trying to cross the border was composed of young people, children, nuns and monks. The European Union must firmly repudiate the Chinese account of what happened, and demand clarification of the matter.
It must also demand clarification as to what has become of the children that the Chinese troops took into custody, the present whereabouts and state of these children and refugees and the manner in which such situations on the border are, as a rule, handled. We in the European Union must make it abundantly plain that Tibet must be accorded autonomy within China’s borders, but real autonomy nonetheless, in line with the ‘Middle Way’ proposed by the Dalai Lama."@en1
