True tales they would not hear

I was very shocked by what I had seen on the television and in China Daily about the riots in Lhasa. The most shocking thing for me was not the cruel events themselves but how the media in my country of origin, Finland, reported the events.

A friend has scanned and sent me articles and I also have checked what can be found on the Internet.

Very few Finnish people have ever visited Tibet, but I traveled there with my wife in 2006. I saw Lhasa with my own eyes, and talked with the local people.
