The International Campaign for Tibet's Statement for the Record at the Joint Hearing of the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Human Rights and International Operations and Asia and the Pacific on "The Internet in China: A Tool for Freedom or Suppression?"; February 15, 2006

The two-day World Parliamentarians Convention on Tibet was held in Edinburgh, Scotland on 18-19 November, 2005, and attended by parliamentarians and Tibet experts from 32 countries, including India, Australia, Canada, Japan, Taiwan and a number of European countries.

It is my honor and pleasure to represent the International Campaign for Tibet at this important forum.

I thank you all for giving me this rare opportunity to brief you about my personal experiences as a child in Chinese-occupied Tibet.

Good morning, my name is Nima Taylor. I am a Tibetan lawyer practicing in New York, here on behalf of the Tibet Justice Centre. I am honoured to have the opportunity to speak before you today.

Ever since I set foot on the soil of the United States I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from my fellow Tibetans in the free world as well as from friends of Tibet.
