TIBET/CHINA: REPRESSION, HACKERS, AND MONKS Aug 10 2002
   Hackers Target Chinese Media Amidst Continued Tibetan Repression
   As China tries desperately to remake its image after entry into the
   WTO, the regime continues it's crackdown on Tibetan monasteries and
   Falun Gong hackers.
   While China uses an imposter Panchen Lama to spead propaganda, they are
   releasing certain Tibetan political prisoners. Tanag Jigme Zangpo, an
   elderly Tibetan teacher who has spent most of the past 40 years in
   prison, has been allowed to leave Tibet and arrived in Chicago earlier
   this month.
   At the same time, Chinese authorities in Tibet continue the destruction
   of monasteries, they have begun their own "War on Terror" by arresting
   Tibetan lamas on allegations of bomb attacks.
   The regime is also battling a ever more sophisticated band of Falun
   Gong hackers and a shadowy group known as the Hong Kong Blondes. In
   recent months, various Chinese state satellite news broadcasts have
   been hacked into and replaced with video explaining to the Chinese
   people the repressive measures used by the government against
   non-violent Falun Gong members.
   At the same time, people in Beijing complained of picking up their
   phones and hearing a five-minute recorded message from Falun Gong
   attacking the Chinese regime's attempts to silence the group.
   Discuss this story and add more links regarding Tibet, the Falun Gong,
   and repression in China.
