Radiohead’s lead singer, Thom Yorke, is reported to have recently composed three songs for the soundtrack of a documentary about the Free Tibet movement.

Dharamshala: The year 2009 marks the 50th year of the Chinese occupation of Tibet. The Tibetan community both inside Tibet and in exile, continues to protest oppressive policies in Tibet. While His Holiness the Dalai Lama has asked for human rights and autonomy for the Tibetan people under the constitution of the People's Republic of China, discussions with China in 2008 yielded no change in the Tibetan situation in 2009.

A Tibetan nun, by the last name of Lhadon, grew up in a peasant family in Toelung Dechen, Tibet. She became a nun at the Nechungri Nunnery near Tibetan capital Lhasa at the age of nineteen. After being imprisoned by the Chinese for three years, she was expelled from her nunnery and escaped from Tibet in October of 1996.

Dharamshala: The wife of Tibetan film-maker Dhondup Wangchen, who was arrested by the Chinese authorities in March 2008, has told the Tibet Post her husband didn't commit any crime but is afraid he will be convicted anyway.

Dharamsala, India: Around one hundred Tibetans and foreigners, mostly young adults, gathered in the hall of the Tibetan Welfare Office on the evening of 14 October to participate in a dynamic discussion entitled, "Is Autonomy Really Possible Under PRC Rule?". The prominent speakers in this debate were Michael Davis, a professor at Hong Kong University and graduate of Yale Law School; and Lobsang Sangay, a Tibetan lawyer and researcher at Harvard Law School. Tenzin Tsondue, from "Talk Tibet," acted as moderator and host.

Its official homepage notes, "Lha is the Tibetan word for our innate nature of fundamental goodness." With a simple altruistic intention, the Lha Charitable Trust has been providing a host of social services to the Tibetan community-in-exile of McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala for the past twelve years. In this short period it has grown in leaps and bounds, from being a small-time nonprofit startup with two computers to the largest Tibetan social service NGO in Dharamsala - no small feat considering the dizzying number of charities here. In walking around and talking to folks- Tibetan or foreign - it is rare for the Lha Charitable Trust not to come up in conversation. The first thing one senses about Lha is its omnipresence in the community.
