HERSZENHORN Published: February 8, 2008 A day after the Senate seemed mired in a partisan feud over a more expensive stimulus plan favored by Democrats, lawmakers cast that quarrel aside and approved a plan nearly identical to one the House adopted last week. The Senate, voting 81 to 16, slightly expanded the House plan to include payments for some 20 million Social Security recipients and 250,000 disabled veterans who would not have qualified because they do not earn income. The final measure also specifies that illegal immigrant workers not receive payments. The House swiftly approved those changes by a vote of 380 to 34 and sent the bill to the White House, where Mr. Bush had already said he would sign it.

(8.May 2008) Bhuti, one of 137 Tibetans marching across India to garner sympathy for their plea for independence for their troubled homeland, says those wounds can only be mended o nly be mended once Tibet is free and her Indian-born children can visit. "I yearned to meet my mother. I wanted to go back to Tibet. I could not meet her she died two years ago. Today I just have memories," said Bhuti, 63, who escaped over the Himalayas to India in 1959, leaving her widowed mother behind. Immediate Press Release: (7 May 2008) Tibetan Youth Congress Strongly Condemns The Unfair and Unlawful Trial of 30 Tibetans by China. Dharamshala: On 29 April, 2008 the Intermediate People's Court in Lhasa, capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), handed down prison sentences to 30 Tibetans who had taken part in peaceful protests since 10 March, 2008. The sentences range from three years to life in prison. International law requires an arrested suspect to be charged with a recognised offence and given a fair trial, and anybody arrested for expressing their opinions and participating in peaceful demonstrations should be considered arbitrarily detained. A fair trial includes the right to legal representation, the right to be presumed innocent, the right to have adequate time to prepare a defence and the right to be heard in public. The speedy one-day trial proceedings in Lhasa were held in secret and did not conform with even the most basic standards of international justice.
