Title: China to crack down on singers after Bjork outburst
Post by: Foxy Brown on March 17, 2008, 09:48:37 PM

China will tighten its controls over foreign singers and other performers after Icelandic singer Bjork shouted "Tibet! Tibet!" at a Shanghai concert last weekend, the Ministry of Culture said on Friday.

Bjork chanted the name of the Chinese-ruled Himalayan region after performing her song "Declare Independence", which she has used in the past to promote independence movements in other places such as Kosovo. (http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSL0783600820080307?rpc=64)

Good for Bjork. It's impossible to complete boycott the regime, but people should do their best to speak out and not be complicit in the oppression of Tibet.
