Letter regarding Nobel Peace Prize award to Elie Wiesel

The Dalai Lama appeals to global leaders, parliamentarians, NGOs, and the public concerning the escalating situation in Tibet. He expresses gratitude for their concern over the recent tragic events and encourages them to persuade Chinese authorities to show restraint and engage in dialogue. The appeal highlights the deep-rooted resentment among Tibetans in the Tibet Autonomous Region and other traditional areas now incorporated into Chinese provinces like Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan. He notes the deployment of Chinese troops, severe crackdowns, and the sealing off of protest areas. The Dalai Lama urgently calls for an end to the crackdown, the release of detainees, and adequate medical treatment for the injured, citing fears among Tibetans to seek care in Chinese-run facilities. He also requests support for an independent international investigation into the unrest, advocating for media and international medical teams to visit affected areas to reassure Tibetans and exert a restraining influence on the Chinese authorities.
