tibet riots aynaku illustration travel

In 1959 China annexed theocratic and remote Tibet.
The Dalai Lama,winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, fled to India amid the 1959 rebellion and he is routinely vilified by the Chinese Government.
In recent decades, China has methodically begun exploiting the region’s timber and mineral wealth; Beijing continues to rule the small Himalayan state with a heavy hand, enforcing strict controls on religious institutions.
Since March 14, 2008 protests led by Buddhist monks against Chinese rule in Tibet are turning violent, with shops and vehicles torched and gunshots echoing through the streets of the ancient capital, Lhasa.

Your illos are always full of powerful stories, Massimo. It’s like traveling around the world though your mind.

One of the most meaningful illustrations the I’ve seen. It really conveys the message in a simple elegant way.
