"Please investigate.... if possible some respected organisation, international organisation carry entirely what is the condition, what is the situation in Tibet."

"Whether Chinese government admits or not, there is a problem. The problem is the nation with ancient cultural heritage is actually facing serious dangers.... Whether as a Tibetan nation, ancient nation with ancient cultural heritage is actually dying".

"The international community has the moral responsibility to remind the Chinese government in order to be good host of the Olympic Games".

"Generally, Tibetans are following, I think quite sincerely, non-violent principles. Of course individual human beings, when emotions come out of control, then certain sort of violent actions are possible. But my principle, everybody knows is completely committed to non-violence".
