Dear Paolo,

Thank you for your message. I see we are not understanding each other! I am sorry for being unclear.

My message was a response to your "freedom for Tibet/democracy for China" fax communique #65, which stated in part:

"At this point, even with a profound respect for those who have chosen to further the struggle in this way, we must clearly state that we cannot be a part of it."

The reason I wrote to you is this - the Canada Tibet Committee has mentioned in its most recent newsletter that non-Tibetans wishing to express an opinion on satyagraha should do so by contacting the TRP (your commentary section in the fax communiques). I assume that is no longer appropriate because your organization has disassociated itself with the satyagraha movement. Is that correct?

I wrote to you to explain.

Take care,

Carole Samdup
