In the context of the 2008 Tibetan unrest, Jamyang Kyi was arrested April 1, 2008 by the Chinese police on her work place, to the chain of State Qinghai Television suggesting that the Chinese government crackdown after the unrest in and around Tibet is continuing. One can fear that she is tortured.
Tibetan Singer, she composes herself the songs that she interprets. Evocative title as “Prayer”, “Karma”, “distant Lover” and “Heart Message” in 1997 shows her sensibility. Jamyang Kyi is also a journalist of television, and a writer. She composed essays on the fate of Tibetan women. She published articles including one on the illegal dealings in girls (Qinghai Daily, edition in Tibetan language, 11/30/05) and the statute of women in the Tibetan society. She described in particular the existence of forced marriages. She wrote a book in Tibetan on Tibetan women fate and the preservation of the Tibetan culture, “Heurs and misfortunes of the women – Snows and mixed rains” that should have appeared in 2007 to the Editions of the nationalities of the Gansu.
It is very important to focus on her personality, because this break down the dualistic way to think to evil (Chinese) against good (Tibetans). Looking to her story and argument, you feel the need to have human right, that is the real goal of emancipation. Therefore, there is not just political and military oppression (by Chinese), but also something to change in Tibetan social model.
We need emancipation, freedom, Open Source Society.
