The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution asking China to end its crackdown on non-violent protests in Tibet [Images], release the Tibetans imprisoned in peaceful demonstrations and allow unfettered access to international monitors and journalists there. The resolution, sponsored by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was adopted by a vote of 413-1. The resolution cited growing resentment in Tibet against Chinese laws and policies that have 'severely eroded the ability of Tibetans to preserve their distinctive language, culture and religious identity'. "Most insulting of all is that China insists that the torch go through Tibet. The world should not allow that to happen," Speaker Pelosi said.
