Indian Police Arrest Tibetan Exiles

We simply can not permit people to walk around chanting for peace and freedom. That is a threat to the "peace and tranquility" of the imperialist, corporate masters and a threat to their subjugation of the world for profit to their elite minority. Tibet has been a slave state to imperialism for almost 70 years. Get over it already! You are Buddhists. You are not suppose to care about the little things that go on in this plane of existence anyway.

Indian Police Arrest Tibetan Exiles
DEHRA, India (AP) - Police detained more than 100 Tibetan exiles as they marched to their homeland Thursday in protest of China's hosting of the Olympic Games, charging them with threatening the "peace and tranquility" of the region, officials said.

The protesters began a hunger strike within hours of being arrested, Tenzin Palkyi, a march coordinator, told The Associated Press.

The protesters shouted "Free Tibet!" and other slogans as they were being detained, but there was no violence, witnesses said. Senior police official Atul Fulzele said the protesters had been charged with threatening the region's "peace and tranquility."
