Until 1950, when it was invaded by the armies of the communist Chinese, Tibet was a sovereign state inhabited by a peaceful people with their own distinct language, culture, religion, history and customs. The foreign occupation of Tibet has continued to the present day.

Under Chinese rule, more than 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed, 6,000 monasteries have been destroyed, and tens of thousands of Tibetans have been imprisoned. The International Committee of Jurists has twice ruled that Chinese practices in Tibet constitute the crime of genocide.
