Dharamsala, Dec 10 (IANS): Tibetan Prime Minister-in-exile Lobsang Sangay Wednesday urged Chinese authorities to release 2010 Nobel Peace Laureate Liu Xiaobo from jail and meet the aspirations of the participants of the tragic Tiananmen Square demonstrations of 1989.

"A genuinely civilized democratic world cannot be achieved as long as injustice is inflicted in any corner of that world," Sangay said in a statement to mark the silver jubilee celebrations of the Dalai Lama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

The same year, 25 years ago, the Chinese government had in a brutal crackdown dispersed pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing's Tiananmen Square killing hundreds, if not thousands, of protestors.

"Over the past 25 years, the Dalai Lama has unwaveringly continued to confirm and strengthen the ideals of the Nobel Peace Prize," Sangay said.

He said the Dalai Lama promotes a mutually beneficial solution for the Tibet issue.

Invaded by China in 1949, Tibet was forced to face the direct loss of life that comes from a military invasion and, soon after, the loss of universal freedoms.

On the debacle of the 14th World Summit of Nobel Peace laureates that was to be held in Cape Town Oct 13-15 earlier and is now scheduled to be in Rome Dec 12-14, Sangay said the summit was cancelled due to the boycott of the summit by the other laureates when visa was denied to the Dalai Lama.

"We appreciate and welcome the summit now being held in Rome which will be attended by the Dalai Lama."

With regard to the ongoing demonstrations and self-immolations in Tibet for want of basic human rights and freedoms, he said 132 self-immolations have taken place on the Tibetan plateau during the past six years.

"We pray for those who have sacrificed their lives for basic freedom and human rights in Tibet. We remember the Tibetan political prisoners still suffering in Chinese prisons, including Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, Chadrel Rinpoche, and many others."

"The Kashag (cabinet) reiterates on this 66th Human Rights Day that the only way to end repression and the deteriorating situation in Tibet is for China to change its current hardline policy and respect the needs of the Tibetan people," he added.

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has lived in India since fleeing his homeland in 1959. The Tibetan administration-in-exile is based in this northern Indian hill town of Dharamsala.
