THE GREETING TO PARTICIPANTS OF THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF TIBET SUPPORT GROUPS

Bonn, June 15-17, 1996

Dear Sirs!

Let me, personally and on behalf of the organization I represent, congratulate you on the opening of the Second International Conference of Tibet Support Groups, and let me wish you productive work.

Sharing your striving for peaceful regulation of Tibet issue and your desire to prevent the threat of disappearance of Tibet people and its cultural and religious heritage, I would like to express my strong support.

I realize that the way of non-violence the people of Tibet has chosen in his struggle for freedom is a hard way that can be overcome only by a joint effort. Let us support this important issue together in order to prove that this way is not a Utopia, but the only true and wise way of struggle.

Yours sincerely,

Yevgeniy Proniuk,

member of Ukrainian Parliament,

chairman of All-Ukrainian Association of Political Prisoners and Subjected to Repression,

member of presidium of Ukrainian Republican party.
