With a new surrender deadline only a day away, 381 Tibetans from Amdo Ngawa have reportedly already turned themselves into the Chinese authorities.
The Tibetan Government-in-Exile (TGIE) has increased the death toll in Tibet to 140, up from the 99 reported last week. Prime Minister Samdhong Rinpoche said, “This figure is from our sources in Tibet. The verifiable number is about 130 in entire Tibet…These are not necessarily new casualties. This could be information that we could not get before.” In addition, the TGIE has released the names and details of 40 people who were killed.
At least one monk was shot dead and another left in critical condition after the People’s Armed Police (PAP) and Public Security Bureau (PSB) opened fire on Tibetans protesting in Drango County (Ch: Luhuo xian), Kardze TAP, Sichuan Province. The protests, which began around 2pm (Beijing Standard Time), were initiated by monks from Chokri Monastery and nuns of Ngyoe-go Nunnery in Drawo Township, and later joined by laypeople. Sources inside of Tibet reported that when the protesters were marching towards the township headquarters, a large number of PAP and PSB officers arrived to try to calm the protesters. The two sides clashed and security forces fired live ammunition indiscriminately into the crowd. The dead monk was identified as Kunga, 18, from Chokri Monastery. Tsewang Dhondup, 30, a monk from the same monastery, remains in critical condition.
Xinhua’s account of the clash only mentioned the killing of a Chinese policeman by “a mob wielding stones and knives.”

If the monks are violent enough to kill a policeman, then should this happen in any where else in the world, they would all get arrested and anyone attacking policemen at sight would get shot right there and they all deserve to die! If you don’t believe this, do you dare to arouse them to try this stunt here in the US? Hypocrites! Keep whining for what you deserve!
Dalai Lama -please reach out to the global leaders to help make this madness stop… please go back to Tibet…your people need you now, more than ever. Namaste.
I see a real dilemma for both dalai lama and his followers; they need each other, yet they cannot work together
dalai wants a deal with beijing so that he can live his final years back home, but his followers make such a deal impossible
the followers need him to bring attention, even admiration, to their cause, but having a living buddha as leader is contrary to democracy; it even makes the other side sound politically more up to date
so what is they way out? well you wont get much useful advice from britain or india, both with a suspect past in their relation to tibet; not from taiwan, which has messed up its own independence dream through corruption; not from usa, because it is too busy in the middle east
I see you practise censorship on comments
more words=00…jimmyleeca, what cloud are you on or what are you on or not on. Have you even heard of the civil right movement in our own country. You don’t know the history of the Tibetan under chinese nationalist government and the abuse an authoritarian regime can hand to its people.
What situation would i consider a correct time to hit someone i ask myself. As a struggling Buddhist having grown in the US and have found its its easy to talk altruism but about but hard to practice. My belief is if i treat everyone as my mother and use the principles of altruism this would be a better world. But if someone hit my Mother i would have a more difficult time with my emotions. The chinese nationalist have taken those self governing principles from the Tibetans and abused their freedom of speech and religion. i suggest you visit a 3rd world country, where the dirt your standing on is worth more that you 00, and you may come out of you amnesia.
Keep up this attitude 00 and your next life will be in the coal mines of china
The only only point that you made is that your an arrogant, insensitive person to others you don’t understand=bigot. You may find meditation a better alternative in bringing peace your life.
Who are you anyway??? Get your finger out your butt you narcisssist and smell the shit of a body your living in.
To all the CEO’s of china!!!
if compassion is the heart beat of our inherent human nature that we share, then to allow the human rights of Tibetans to simmer into political discussion is against our true aspiration for the liberation of all sentient beings !!!
