Tibet Protests: Independent UN investigation needed | Amnesty International (15.03.08)
AI calls on the Chinese authorities to exercise restraint in responding to continuing protests, to fully account for all detainees in Lhasa and other Tibetan areas during the crackdown on protests, and to release those detained for peacefully expressing their views and exercising their freedom of expression, association and assembly.
-
Protests started last Monday when around 400 monks began a march from Drepung Monastery heading into central Lhasa, demanding the easing of a government-imposed campaign which forces monks to write denunciations of the Dalai Lama and subjects them to government political propaganda. Over 50 of them were arrested on the way to the city. Subsequent protests began in other monasteries in support of those detained, leading to more general unrest throughout Lhasa and in other parts of Tibet in which lay people joined in. Protests among Tibetans in the neighbouring provinces of Qinghai, Gansu and Sichuan have also been reported.Police and military forces were reported to have fired teargas into crowds, beaten protestors and fired live ammunition in an attempt to disperse them.

China orders Tibetans 'reeducated' about Dalai Lama | LA Times (08.04.08)
Buddhist monks, civil servants and public school students have been instructed to attend special classes in the virtues of Chinese rule and the evils of their exiled leader, the Dalai Lama. In these classes, the Tibetans read and recite from texts that denounce the Dalai Lama as a "political reactionary" and a "betrayer of the motherland."
-
Besides the monks, Tibetan civil servants, party members and schoolchildren have attended special reeducation sessions, according to the Tibet Daily. At an elementary school, children viewed photographs of stores damaged in March 14 riots in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, and sang patriotic songs.

China blocks YouTube, reporters over Tibet news | Peter Ford, csmonitor.com (18.03.08)
Foreign journalists have been banned from traveling to Tibet and prevented by the police from reporting on protests by Tibetans in other Chinese provinces. Domestic newspapers, TV programs, and Internet sites have carried only articles produced by the official Xinhua news agency. News reports on international TV networks such as CNN and the BBC have been blacked out by censors.
-
The director of the Foreign Ministry's information department, Hong Lei, who in the past has helped journalists being obstructed
by local police, says he can only "cooperate with the local authorities. When there is some emergency, the local authorities
have the authority to set up prohibited areas for outsiders," he says.
Banning foreign journalists from reporting on such emergencies serves "the peace, stability, and unity of this country," he
adds. -

Chinese get one news source on Tibet | Peter Ford, csmonitor.com (02.04.08)
The vast majority of Chinese citizens, relying on state-run media for news and official views, appear to find no fault with their government's handling of recent Tibetan unrest, presented as an outbreak of murderous mob violence instigated by separatist plotters abroad.
-
The government has ensured its control over Tibet-related information in the traditional media by the simple expedient of
making sure that only news and commentary from Xinhua, the official news agency, has appeared in papers or on TV.
Not a single case has come to light of any Chinese newspaper using any other source over the last three weeks.
Editors who may have had doubts about Xinhua's veracity or balance appear to have kept silent. Southern Weekend, for example,
an independent-minded weekly popular with intellectuals, has not published articles on Tibet since the unrest began three
weeks ago. -
Internet is harder to control, though censors known here as "Net nannies" have been working overtime to keep awkward Western
media reports and other information off the websites accessible to Chinese users.
The Dalai Lama's appeal, for example, was not easy to find in Beijing. A search on Baidu, China's largest search engine, for
"Dalai Lama appeal Chinese" produced only one link, and that had been blocked by Internet supervisors.
If Kosovo, why not Tibet? | Claude Arpi, phayul.com (28.02.08)
Backed by the US and the EU, Kosovo has declared 'independence' from Serbia, although its claim to 'sovereignty' is extremely dubious. But the independence of another nation, Tibet, continues to be denied by China. The US and EU are least interested
