Protest against “Tibet -Treasure from the Roof of the World” exhibit
The Ueno Royal Museum is currently hosting an exhibition of Chinese government-owned Tibetan artifacts, and “Free Tibet” activists are not happy about it. Here’s a video from a protest held yesterday:
The exhibition, “Tibet: Treasure from the Roof of the World,” has been traveling throughout the world since 2004 and now it has been exhibiting in Japan. This exhibition does not present the accurate modern history and culture of Tibet. Our aim is to let the world know that this exhibition is a collection of stolen treasure that is organized by the Chinese govenment who has been trying to justify the Chinese rule in Tibet.
The activists wanted the exhibit to include information about the Chinese conquest and occupation of Tibet, but their request was rejected. Exhibition committee representative Taisuke Tsurumaki told activists that, “There is no such a thing as ‘Tibetan person.’ There is a Tibetan tribe (in China).”
