It seems all foreigners and foreign organisation have been kindly asked to leave the premises (i.e. Tibet) and have until Monday to do so. This situations is, I believe, history in the making. Very sad history indeed. The irony of it being that the PRC's government uses the excuse of necessary pacification to send troops in, accusing the Tibetans of dissent, when it accuses its own citizens and people of the "han" ethnic group of "unpatriotic" activities when they dare go against the party line.

I am worried, and check the news every hour or so. But the sad realisation I 've come to now is that the only thing I will be getting from my googling and clicking around, is a Tiananmen type picture :

Wanna make a change ? Don't watch your national team trying to win the gold this summer. Keep sending e-mails . Get together with friends and write leaflets, teach people about the situation in the PRC. The games can take place. But people like Hu jia, and the ones who died in the past few days should not be forgotten
