Tibet has been part of China since 1949, and Chinese troops have imprisoned, tortured, and murdered Tibet's people when they protest. The problems Tibet faces include Chinese troops imprisoning people without cause, the presence of 250,000-500,000 Chinese troops killing innocent Tibetans, and China hurting or assassinating protesters. Tibet wants freedom from China, and visiting the helpfreetibet website can help support efforts to liberate Tibet from Chinese control.
