China increase repression in Tibet during the Olympic Game.
The situation is far to be improved for the Tibetan people living in Tibet.
Since the March 10th, clampdown on the Tibetans by the PRC follows below:
* Number of Tibetans killed: more than 216
* Number of Tibetan injured: above 1,000
* Number of Tibetan arrested: more than 5,972

numbers from the 29 July 2008
Since June, we do not heard anymore about what is currently going on in Tibet.
... did the situation improve?
... did the Chinese government follows their promises to improve human rights?
... does all injured Tibetans have access to medical assistance?
... what happened of the 6000 Tibetans arrested?
So now that all the athletes try to get new records, what's going now there?
Journalists are still not allowed in Tibet and the repression is increasing in order to avoid "any events" during the game:

"The Dalai Lama accused Chinese
troops of opening fire on protesters in eastern Tibet on Aug. 18
and said in an interview published on Thursday he had
unconfirmed information that 140 people were killed.
Very courageous activists are banned from China, after their amazing actions:

Though, Chinese government, is planning a lot of good stuffs for the up coming years:
- Expend the railway for the sake of economics development and Tibetan people's comfort: http://news.smh.com.au/world/china-to-expand-tibet-railway-20080818-3xim.html
- And move over 73,700 Nomadic Tibetans in Kanlho into permanent homes: http://www.phayul.com/news/article.aspx?id=22527&article=China+to+relocate+over+73%2c700+Nomadic+Tibetans+in+Kanlho+into+permanent+homes%3a+state+media&t=1&c=1
Some words from His Holiness: http://dalailama.com/news.288.htm
Obviously the clampdown in Tibet just keeps going and increasing, even now during the games.
No government dare say anything to China. People around the world are still watching the event and get brainwash because of the Chinese Infowar.
The Tibetan culture is in a great danger.
That's definitely the WORST Olympiad ever ...
