Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama is a Buddhist leader of Tibetan Buddhism. The name is a combination of the
Mongolian word dalai meaning "Ocean" and the Tibetan word bla-ma (with a silent "b") meaning
"chief" or "high priest." "Lama" is a general term referring to Tibetan Buddhist teachers.
Traditionally, the Dalai Lama is thought of as the latest reincarnation of a series of spiritual leaders
who have chosen to be reborn in order to enlighten others.
When the Dalai Lama was just fifteen, China invaded Tibet and full political power was taken away
from him. Despite a meeting with Mao, president of China, and numerous efforts towards a peaceful
agreement with the invaders, in 1959 the Dalai Lama was forced to leave his country, in part at least to
protect the masses of Tibetans who put their lives in danger in order to keep him in the holy city. He
started a long and dangerous trek through the mountains, chased by Chinese troops, then arrived in
India where he found out about the tens of thousands people slaughtered, and 6,000 destroyed
monasteries in Tibet.
Few world leaders have been as respected and honoured as the 72-year-old Kundun who in 1989 was
awarded the nobel Peace Prize. For despite the ongoing suffering of his people, he continues to
remind the world that hatred will not cease by hatred.
Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela born 18th July 1918, served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999,
and was the first South African president to be elected in a fully representative democratic election.
Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and the leader of the armed wing of the
African National Congress (ANC). In 1962 he was arrested and convicted of sabotage and other
charges, and sentenced to life in prison. Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these
years on Robben Island. Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela led his party
in the negotiations that led to multi-racial democracy in 1994. As president from 1994 to 1999, he
frequently gave priority to reconciliation.
Mandela has received more than 250 awards over four decades, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize.
Ilie Ilacu
Ilie Ilacu (born 30th July 1952 in Taxobeni, Fleti district) is a Moldovan-born
Romanian politician, famous for being sentenced to death by the separatist Transnistrian
government. Ilacu became known for his opposition against Moldovan Communist Party
politics regarding Moldovan language, openly supporting the usage of Latin script and
recognition of Moldovan-Romanian identity, as well as giving the status of official language for
Moldovan. On December 9th, 1993, the Supreme Court of Transnistria found him guilty of a
number of offences defined in the Criminal Code of the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic,
including incitement to commit an offence against national security. Ilacu was sentenced to be
shot and other three defendants were sentenced to hard labour for terms between 12 and 15
years. They had no right of appeal. During the trial, the defendants were kept in iron cages, as
they were considered "extremely dangerous". This decision was contested by various
international human rights organizations. Ilacu was eventually released on May 5th, 2001, two
years after he filed an application with the European Court of Human Rights.
Ai Weiwei
Ai Weiwei (born 28 August 1957) is a Chinese artist and activist, who is also active in
architecture, photography, film, and social and cultural criticism. In addition to showing his art,
he has investigated government corruption and cover-ups. He was particularly focused at
exposing a corruption scandal in the construction of Sichuan schools that collapsed during the
2008 Sichuan earthquake. He intensively uses the internet to communicate with people all over
China, especially the young generation. On 3rd April 2011 police stopped him at Beijing airport.
His studio in the capital was closed, and his staff interrogated for "economic crimes". On 20 th
April, Ai was appointed Visiting Professor of the University of the Arts in Berlin. According to
Chinese authorities, he is a dissident to be watched, one whose inflammatory blog needed to be
silenced. But to others, he is the courageous voice needed in todays repressive China. According
to his projects findings, some 3,500 (80 percent) of the students perished in 18 of the 14,000
damaged schools, a result that supports Ais theory about a building scandal. His blog posts were
systematically censored or deleted throughout his investigation. On May 26-28 he wrote about
being followed and about unknown persons visiting his mothers house. On May 29 th 2010 his
blog was shut down. He is now imprisoned.
