The Kashag would like to extend its sincere
congratulations to Mr Liu Xiaobo for being
awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize. The whole
of China should be proud of this singular honour bestowed on one of her sons.

This year's Nobel Peace Prize that is conferred
on Mr Liu Xiaobo is the international community's
recognition of the outstanding contributions Mr
Liu Xiaobo has made to the advancement of freedom
and personal liberties in China. His involvement
in organizing Charter 08, which calls for freedom
and democracy in China, is an act of unparalleled
courage and sacrifice. His support for the Tibet
cause and the Middle-Way policy is well known to everyone.

We Tibetans pray that Mr Liu Xiaobo will be able
to receive the well-deserved Nobel Peace Prize in person on December 10.
