Dharamsala, November 26 – Voice of freedom cannot be suppressed, said Tibetan activist Tenzin Tsunde, who was freed Sunday after being put under house arrest here ahead of Chinese President Hu Jintao’s India visit.
‘No voice of freedom can be suppressed,’ the 31-year-old activist said after the administration lifted restrictions on his movement.
Tsundue, a poet and general secretary of the Friends of Tibet -, had unfurled a ‘free Tibet’ banner atop a hotel in Mumbai during the then Chinese prime minister Zhu Rongji’s visit in 2002. The government decided to take no chances during Hu’s four-day visit beginning Nov 20 and confined him to his house.
‘Situations do not matter, I make use of them towards my end. Instead of restricting my movement, if the government had jailed me, I would have escaped, or at least created a record by trying it a thousand times,’ Tsunde told IANS.
‘I didn’t do it this time as I did not want to disturb peaceful protest gatherings in New Delhi which would have been disrupted,’ said the Friends of Tibet – general secretary.
