Rome, Mar. 20, 2008 (CWNews.com) -
A Chinese government spokesman has flatly rejected the call by Pope Benedict XVI for a peaceful resolution of the crisis in Tibet, saying that there can be "no tolerance for criminals."
In a statement released during his regular public audience on March 19, the Holy Father had spoken of his concern about the bloodshed in Tibet, and urged both sides to have the "courage to choose the path of dialogue and tolerance."

China insists on hegemony over Tibet-- a claim that is rejected by the Tibetan people. The leader of the Tibetan government in exile, Samdhong Rinpoche, told the AsiaNews service that his people were grateful for the Pope's public comments. The Pontiff, he said, had "voiced our suffering to the world."
If there be oppression, oppression is its own retribution, just as virtue is its own reward.
