Speech given by Ms. Bunkun Wang To Participants of "2004 March for Tibet's Independence" At the gate of the Consulate of The People's Republic of China Chicago, IL December 10, 2004 Dear Friends: On behalf of the World United Formosans for Independence-U.S.A., I congratulate you for completing the 2004 March for Tibet's Independence. Today, December 10th, is the anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and of the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to His Holiness The Dalai Lama. On this solemn occasion, it is altogether fitting for us to call for the release of The Panchen Lama and Tenzin Delek Rinpoche. The World United Formosans for Independence joins you in demanding that the Chinese government respect the fundamental human rights of the peace-loving Tibetan people. Tibet and Taiwan may be far apart geographically. However, the peoples of Tibet and Taiwan share the very same important goal. We both wish to be free from Chinese threat and oppression. My Tibetan friends, the World United Formosans for Independence supports your cause. As a token of our solidarity with the International Tibet Independence Movement, and now as a tradition, I would like to present you with this banner advocating "CHINA OUT OF TIBET." (Presentation). My friends, this banner is made in Taiwan. It symbolizes the joining of hands of Tibetan and Taiwanese peoples. Long Live Tibet! Thank you. Bunkun
