Tibet groups all over the world have appealed to the European Union, the recipient of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, to address the crisis in Tibet and establish a Contact Group on Tibet. The International Tibet Network, a global coalition of 190 Tibet-related NGOs, in an open letter to the leaders of the EU, congratulated the body and reminded them that the situation in Tibet is more acute now as compared to 1989 when Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama was honoured by the Nobel committee.
