This is a photo taken today (Sunday) by my gal pal in Nepal, Caroline aka Sirensongs. Here is the first paragraph of her post "Drawing Blood":
"This afternoon I witnessed a Tibetan monk beaten, along with two other protestors, during a nonviolent anti-China protest at Boudha Stupa.
The three protestors were just standing (with Tibetan flags) at the stupa entrance, between the New Nyingma Gompa and the Ajima shrine, chanting slogans. Totally nonviolent. In fact, they were there for so long it got routine and I went off for tea."
Besides not watching the Olympics, you also might want to boycott the Olympic sponsors that Vanessa mentions in her blog post. She has another good post here.
Ironically this week the US removed China from its list of human rights abusers.
Are you going to drink the Olympic kool-aid?
