Gyuto Monks of Tibet

I took these photos of the Gyuto Monks in 1997, during my first year as a photography student at PSC in Melbourne. I was blowing the dust off the prints the other day for a related project that I´m hoping to be part of.

Today it is 50 years since China crushed the Tibetans who demanded independence, and The Dalai Lama fled to India as an exile. Today China has declared martial law and is holding Tibetans with an iron fist, and no foreign journalist are allowed there, just in case they might witness some more innocent Tibetans being killed.
