Actually, the concept of what is consist of "human right" and what is consist of "annoying" is different between here (US) and there (China)
As someone on the sideline reading the free weekly newsletter from the Falon Gong in San Francisco, I can blame themselves for the lack of social support in mainland china. The articles they write usually contain very one sided opinion against not just people in power, but twisted historic facts of hundreds of years back to support their causes. There are also huge support from the Taiwan's government in the back for their movement. Once they were questioned by a San Francisco Asian TV Network on their financial support background, who pay for them, and how much, and they refuse to answer the question. The consensus is that the donation they received is insufficient for the massive newspaper like distribution, TV network programs, and other marketing events. Their popularity in the International Chinese community is as good as green peace in Texas.
Regarding to Tibet, my understanding is that the government cracked down and murdered monks and protesters that are in numbers of several hundreds. Is this a human right violation? Sure it is, but so are many others across China against the majority Han Chinese (not just the Tibetians), with majority of them being government reclaims residents' land for redevelopment without sufficient compensations due to corruptions. This happens so frequently that while it is news worthy, it is no longer unexpected or shocking, or generate massive protests across the nation or cities. Regarding to Tibet, are their lives better under China or worse? It is both. They do have a better living standard compare to 50 or so years ago, much like the Native Americans today live better than 200 years ago due to the general wealth of the society, with access to limited education, health care, and public services; a majority of them were farm slaves of monasteries. However, their freedom of religion do get limited. Imagine you go to a state run church that preach something completely not your choice, that the priests/nuns/pastors are secret polices of the government, you probably wouldn't feel too well. In general, they are living like Native peoples in America, Australia, or Latin America that are low income 2nd class citizens with lower education background than the dominating immigrants from Europe.
