Below is an article published by Central Tibetan Administration:

 

"Why did they run away the minute we came to talk to them? We did not

came here for confrontation. Shirin Ebadi and we both are peace

laureates. This is the question that we all need to ask why did they

leave? There are no Japanese police here," Nobel Laureate Jody

Williams said as she tried to approach the protesters.

 

"They left because they don't want to have a conversation with us,"

Williams added.

 

The protesters seemed to have a tacit backing from the Chinese

government, as the banners they were carrying had oft-repeated

government denunciation of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

 

The two Nobel Laureates called on the Chinese people not to be

deceived by their government's  propaganda on Tibet.

 

"Please do not make the error of believing the propaganda. Please

investigate on your own to find out why there is so much military

presence in Tibet and China," Iranian Nobel Laureate Shirin Ebadi said

through an interpreter.

 

"His Holiness the Dalai Lama is not asking for independence. He only

wants freedom for Chinese and autonomy for Tibetan people. Long live

the people of China," Ms Ebadi said.

 

Jody Williams said: "We would love to go to Tibet and see for

ourselves the freedom that China says is available to all in Tibet. We

would like to go and see that Tibetan culture and language is being

respected and promoted."

 

"We (Nobel Laureates) have gathered in Japan with a clear objective to

support dialogue among all as only way that we can to save this

world," she said.

 

"The only solution to problems in today's world is dialogue. Shirin

and I have spoken with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and we as a Nobel

Peace Laureates are willing to go to China and meet with our Nobel

colleague (Liu Xiaobo)," Williams said.

 

"We are here as two Nobel laureates only to convey our friendship and

the feelings of the Nobel committee and the people of China. We love

the people of China. Our objective is friendship, only friendship,"

Shirin Ebadi said.

 

"We love the people of China, the only problem is your government,"

Ebadi said as one of the Chinese protesters tried to hit a cameraman.

 

"We believe in the beauty and kindness of the people of China. So,

please we beg and plead with you  ask your government to free Liu

Xiaobo from prison. We Iranians like the Chinese people like to live

in freedom. Don't allow your government to protect those who are

indefensible abusing human rights in Burma, Iran and North Korea.

Don't be afraid of the powers of your rulers, your power is greater

than those of your rulers. Long live the union of the people of China

with the rest of the humanity in the world," she added.
