Tight Restriction Increases on His Holiness the Dalai Lama's Birthday in Tibet
{The Tibet Post International -07 July 2008} According to a reliable source, on His Holiness the Dalai Lama's birthday on July 6, 2008, Chinese authorities increased their clampdown on the entire Tibetan plateau. The enormity of yesterday's restriction involved countless numbers of military deployment; stern scrutiny on every Tibetan; restaurants, stores and guest house force to remain closed.
These kind of actions are taking everywhere of county, particularly in Drakgo (Ch: Luhuo) county, Karze (Ch: Ganzi) Prefecture; Tibetans were prohibited from gathering in groups; and the sangsol performance (the auspicious burning incense ritual) was banned.
The restriction extended to foreigners as well. Two foreigners who came to Drakgo monastery yesterday were denied entry inside the monastery by Chinese authorities. Moreover, the two foreigners were pulled and dragged out of the monastery. Additional contingent of armies came to inspect the incident between the foreigners and the Chinese armies; however, they were under the influence of alcohol. Without any reasons, Drakgo monks were severely beaten by the authorities.
On July 3, 2008, Palden Nyendak, age 60, was found dead. Palden Nyendak was the father of Tsering Tsomo and Urgen Lhamo, two nuns of Wa-tag Samtenling Nunnery, who are still under Chinese detention for their affiliation in a peaceful demonstration. On July 2, Palden Nyendak was called in at Drakgo Police Station. During his interrogation, he was abashedly chastised by Chinese armies for the poor up-bringing of his two daughters (for merely peacefully protesting).
Our latest new finding information constitutes a protest led by 6 monks and laypeople on June 23, 2008 around 10:30 in the morning. One protestors identified is Ngodup Dorjee or Lhoba Shang, Karze county. His and his five friends were arrested after the protest and beaten mercilessly that their entire bodies were covered in blood. Slogans used in their demonstrations were, "Invite His Holiness the Dalai Lama back to Tibet," "We want religious freedom," "Equal opportunity of minorities" and "Tibetan belongs to the Tibetan."
