AD expresses solidarity with Tibetan people

Alternattiva Demokratika has expressed solidarity with the Tibetan people.

AD international secretary Mark Scerri said: "We invite all freedom loving people to denounce the communist regime in Beijing which has attempted to stifle the identity and the cultural freedom of the Tibetan nation for the past 58 years."

He said AD condemned the way in which the Beijing regime chose to smother the legitimate protests in Tibet. "It is indeed a shame that, in 2008, a cardinal principle of modern, democratic nations, the right to a free expression is still being trampled upon by one of the world's economic giants", Mr Scerri said.

Mr Scerri added that all the democratic nations should consider stepping up actions against China in order to pressure it into respecting the rights and freedoms of the Tibetans and of all its other citizens.
