- Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel and 25 other Nobel laureates on Thursday condemned the Chinese government's violent crackdown on Tibetan protesters and called on Beijing to exercise restraint.
"The latest events are dramatic and the main thing is to stop the present oppression, persecution and violence," Wiesel said.
The crackdown drew worldwide attention to China's human rights record, threatening to overshadow Beijing's attempts to project an image of unity and prosperity in the lead-up to the Aug. 8-24 Olympics.
"All he [the Dalai Lama] wants is religious and cultural autonomy," Wiesel said.
That autonomy, the statement said, "is fundamental to the preservation of the ancient Tibetan heritage."
Tibetan exile groups have claimed that 80 people were killed during the protest and its aftermath, while Beijing maintains that 16 died and more than 300 were injured. - Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel and 25 other Nobel laureates on Thursday condemned the Chinese government's violent crackdown on Tibetan protesters and called on Beijing to exercise restraint.

China should be condemned for this atrocity. Time to free Tibet and let the people there live free.
