- "Dalai Lama Fears More Suppression Of Tibet,Renews Call For Autonomy, Refutes China's Claims That He Instigated Violent Protests", CBS News, SEATTLE, April 13, 2008 "Our struggle is with a few in the leadership of the People's Republic of China and not with the Chinese people," the Dalai Lama said in a statement released after the press conference. "If the present situation in Tibet continues, I am very much concerned that the Chinese government will unleash more force and increase the suppression of Tibetan people." He added that if the Chinese stop aggression, he will advise all Tibetans to stop their protests. The Dalai Lama continued to plead for nonviolent protest around the Olympic torch. He advocated for the Chinese government to allow foreign journalists and tourists back into Tibet. And he called for the release of those arrested."
