New York, Mar. 26 (DP.net).─ Dianne Feinstein, US Senator from California, sent a letter to the Editor of The New York Times, underlining her reaction at Tibetan Self-Immolations because of human rights repression in Tibet. She stressed her own first-hand experiences on this issue during the late 70s and early 90s.
Her letter reads as follows:
To the Editor:
"Tibetan Self-Immolations as China Tightens Grip" (front page, March 23) vividly illustrates the human dimension of this tragedy.
My history with China and Tibet runs deep. I first visited China in 1979 and worked in the 1990s to facilitate meetings between President Jiang Zemin of China and the Dalai Lama.
Today, China's policies toward Tibet have created an environment of rising tension and frustration.
