Dalai Lama: Tibetans’ lives ‘hell on Earth’

The Dalai Lama has launched a fierce attack on Chinese rule in his Tibetan homeland, describing its people's lives as “hell on Earth”.

Five decades of Chinese rule had caused “untold suffering”, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader said, accusing Beijing of creating a climate of fear.

He also repeated his demand for Tibet's “legitimate and meaningful autonomy”.

His words came on the 50th anniversary of a failed uprising against Chinese troops which led to his exile. Via BBC
