'Chinese guards are also human beings'
When the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, head of the Karma Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism was escaping to India from China on horseback, he learnt one vital lesson -- that the Chinese policemen guarding the border were also human beings.
Chinese scholars have proposed setting up an independent human rights commission in accordance with internationally recognized standards to monitor human rights violations and promote human rights awareness among the general public.
