Tibetan monasteries empty as China jails monks to silence Olympic protests
Family members say that the monks have been told they will be incarcerated in Golmud only until the end of the Olympic Games in Beijing. The policy is part of a campaign by the Chinese Government to ensure that the Games, opening on August 8 and lasting for two weeks, pass off without a hitch and without protests from the restive Tibetans, they told The Times.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

It reminds me of when I was a student during the first Gulf War, Iraqi students were were rounded up and incarcerated for the duration. That wasn't China though... that was Wales.
isnt that normal for Wales?
