DHARAMSHALA, December 7: Following the recent spate of self-immolations in Tibet, senior Japanese leaders, including two vice ministers and two members of parliament, pledged their support for the Tibetan cause and signed a petition urging immediate global intervention in Tibet.

The Japanese leaders were the latest to join an impressive list of world leaders and Nobel Laureates, calling for a coordinated international response to condemn China’s repressive measures in Tibet and demanding an immediate withdraw of China’s security forces from Ngaba and across Tibet.

2012 ELECTIONS: Committee passes DPP’s transition bill

Wednesday, 07 December 2011 06:42 Taipei Times

The legislature’s Procedure Committee yesterday passed a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) caucus-proposed bill aimed at establishing a protocol to regulate transfers of power for the period between presidential elections and their inaugurations.

The proposal is now listed on Friday’s legislative agenda. In the hope that the proposed bill could be passed before the current legislative session goes into recess next Wednesday, the DPP caucus yesterday said it would demand that the bill be put directly to a second reading during Friday’s plenary session and then be put to discussion, along with a similar proposal by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Lu Hsueh-chang (呂學樟).
