27 March 2008 [Press Release]

Elderly woman brutally beaten during Township meeting

Following the protests by monks in Drango (Ch: Luhuo) County on 24 March, leading to the death of an 18-year-old monk and the subsequent solidarity protest on 25 March 2008, the local authority has expelled a large number of monks from Chogri Monastery and arrested some nuns of Nanggong (Tib translit: nganga sgong) Nunnery, according to confirmed information received by the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD). Sources also reported disappearances of many lay people from the area.

On 26 March 2008, under the pretext of a call for a meeting with the authorities, two former abbots of Chogri Monastery, Geshe Namgyal Tsering and Geshe Sonam Gyurmey, were detained in the County Public Security Bureau (PSB) Detention Centre.

In an apparent measure to bring Tibetans in the area under control, the authorities called for a Getse Township meeting during which the residents were ordered to denounce and criticize the Dalai Lama and the "separatist" forces. An elderly woman, Ama Tsanglo, steadfastedly refused to abide by the order and on the contrary called for the fast "return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet". Upon this, the Township Party Secretary beat her brutally, amidst which she shouted, "I will never denounce the Dalai Lama. Even if you kill me today I won't have any regrets." Unable to see his old mother getting beaten mercilessly, her son sprang from the crowd and gave some strong physical blows to the Party Secretary. At the time of releasing this update, both the Party Secretary and Tsanglo are hospitalized, the whereabouts of the son is unknown.

Right out of the playbook.
Public denunciations, self criticism, beatings, disappearances, etc.

Stalin would be proud, Mao too.

They can wear business suits and designer glasses, but their MO does not change.

"Communist officials, such lovable creatures./sarc"

...agree with your irony and sarcasm. IMO, our western leaders will not turn the Chinese into westerners. Chinese will be Chinese.

"Decoupling" is inevitable but not the way that most people assume that it will occur, IMO. When changes are very rapid, big, unlucky troubles can result.

I’m sure it won’t be long before we are treated to excuses made on behalf of these cowardly communist animals. We have certainly seen a lot of it these past two weeks.

I can already guess the opening gambit. It will likely be something like “The Monks are troublemakers” or “Tibetans are ungrateful” or, one of my favourites, the subject changing gambit of “Police in USA shoot people.” Of course, we can only hope that our favourite trance channeler of the Ancient Greeks will appear.

For more on ChiComm thuggery, read “wild Swans” or “Mao” by Jung Chang.

The World will be a better place without Communists! Pray for the day.

They do us all a service by showing how shallow and morally bankrupt they are. They are an accurate reflection of the Hu Jintao clique. The kind of people that have to beat old women into renouncing their religion in order to feel important.

"The World will be a better place without Communists!"

Amen to that, the people and their ideology. I hope this cowardly "party secretary" has to eat through a straw while sitting in a wheelchair for the rest of his miserable life.
