lpv:translated text	"− I voted in favour of this document because respect for human rights, freedom of identity, culture, religion and association are founding principles of the EU and of its foreign policy. The authorities of the People’s Republic of China used disproportionate force while dealing with the protests of 2008 in Tibet and have, ever since, imposed restrictive security measures that curtail freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom of association and freedom of belief. There is a genuine threat to Tibetan identity, language, culture and religion, the heritage of a historically rich civilisation. The authorities of the People’s Republic of China should grant meaningful autonomy to the historical territory of Tibet. However, since January 2010, the Government of the People’s Republic of China has been unwilling to continue the dialogue with the envoys of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The Chinese authorities must engage in a meaningful discussion with the representatives of the Central Tibetan Administration on the future of Tibet and must also allow an independent international investigation to be conducted into the 2008 protests and their aftermath, and release political prisoners. The document condemns the Chinese authorities’ continued crackdown on Tibetan monasteries, and calls on the Chinese Government to guarantee freedom of religion both for the people of Tibet and for all of its citizens. It must uphold the linguistic, cultural, religious and other fundamental freedoms of Tibetans and refrain from settlement policies in favour of the Han people and to the disadvantage of the Tibetans in historical territories of Tibet, as well as from forcing Tibetan nomads to abandon their traditional lifestyle."@en1
