Exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has compared the fateof the Tibetan people to Polish insurgents who rose up against NaziGermany in the doomed 1944 Warsaw Uprising.
"Since 1956 in many parts of Tibet there is a similar situation.Even the Chinese, communist military sometimes used bombs, airplanes,"he said during a visit to a Warsaw museum dedicated to the battle.
Hailing the Polish people's "desire for freedom", the Dalai Lama lita candle at the foot of a vast black memorial wall inscribed withthousands of names of Polish resistance fighters killed in the Uprisingwhich was launched August 1, 1944.
The rebellion, which lasted 63 days, saw 200,000 civilians and 18,000 resistance fighters massacred by the Nazis.
The Dalai Lama also rang a bell decorating the memorial wall beforehanging a large white scarf on it, a Buddhist symbol of purity andhappiness.
"Very moving" he said following the visit. "I always admire thePolish people's spirit and also I think the desire for freedom," hesaid.
"Of course unfortunately one enemy gone and another enemy comes.(It's) seen very clearly in this museum," the Dalai Lama said referringto the fact that after Nazi Germany's defeat, Poland was ruled by acommunist regime installed by the Soviet Union.
"Now you really got genuine freedom. Freedom gives rights. I thinkyou have to realise with rights also there is duty andresponsibility..." he said.
The Dalai Lama, 74, arrived in Warsaw Monday for a three-day visit.He lectured several hundred students on Tuesday morning at WarsawUniversity and was expected to be named an honorary citizen of thePolish capital Wednesday morning.
Beijing accuses him of wanting full independence for Tibet, a claimwhich he himself has called "totally baseless", insisting instead on anautonomous status for his Himalayan homeland within China.
He has lived in exile in India since fleeing Tibet after a failed uprising in 1959 against Chinese rule.
