In a speech on the forty-fifth anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan
People's Uprising, the Dalai Lama urged greater freedom of
information as a driver of peaceful political change in China.
"China is undergoing a process of deep change. In order to
effect this change smoothly and without chaos and violence I
believe it is essential that there be more openness and greater
freedom of information and proper awareness among the general
public," he said.
"We should seek truth from facts--facts that are not falsified.
Without this China cannot hope to achieve genuine stability."
"How can there be stability if things must be hidden and people
are not able to speak out their true feelings?"
