關於晉美諾布

晉美諾布（Jigme Norbu） 簡介

晉美諾布（Jigme Norbu）是達賴喇嘛尊者的大哥圖登晉美諾布（塔澤仁波切）的兒子，是達賴喇嘛尊者的姪子。

為了紀念已逝的父親圖登晉美諾布且接續其遺願，並悼念在圖博(西藏)境內因和平抗爭，無辜犧牲的圖博(西藏)兄弟姐妹，晉美諾布於美國境內與海外各地，先後完成了19次行腳與單車路行活動，總計走過6500哩的路程。最近幾次行腳在2009年三月，晉美自印地安那州的印地安那波里出發，步行至紐約市共900哩。另在2010年五月，晉美諾布與前圖博(西藏)芝加哥聯盟主席丹真蔣揚一同自印地安那波里，跋涉600哩抵達明尼蘇達州的明尼阿波里斯市。接著於七月，晉美從賓夕法尼亞州行腳到華盛頓特區，特別為悼念六十年來於圖博(西藏)境內遭受中共殘暴鎮壓而犧牲的圖博(西藏)手足，以及因地震而死傷的同胞。

晉美的父親總是一再提醒，「圖博(西藏)屬於圖博(西藏)人，且從來不是中國的一部份。」中共為了掩飾他們在圖博(西藏)境內不人道統治，一再阻饒外國媒體取得真實的內部資訊，一再限制圖博(西藏)人的通訊自由，高度的監控與箝制輿論，並以血腥手段鎮壓和平抗爭的圖博(西藏)僧人。

即使圖博(西藏)受到中國侵占已逾50年，圖博(西藏)人民仍拒絕承認圖博(西藏)屬於中國。中國政府在圖博(西藏)境內以操弄居民人口和經濟政策，製造種族歧視以打擊圖博(西藏)人對自我身分與國家的認同。
