FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
However, the self-declared Tibetan government-in-exile has issued statements
discouraging self-immolation, including a statement Saturday expressing
concern and shock and saying that any protests should be peaceful, dignified
and “in accordance with the laws of your country.”
Activists say Tibetans are being pushed into ever-more radical acts because of
intense pressure from China’s police and military, who maintain a highly
visible presence in towns and occupy monasteries while forcing monks to
endure hours of political indoctrination at the expense of their religious
studies.
On Sunday, an overseas Tibetan news service reported Chinese police had taken
Tibetan writer Gangkye Drubpa Kyab from his home in the main town of
Sichuan’s Serthar county on Wednesday night and he has not been released.
Citing a Tibetan politician living in exile, the Norway-based Voice of Tibet
said that when Drubpa Kyab’s wife asked for a warrant, police told her they
wanted to talk with her husband.
Police and government officials in Serthar and in Ganzi, the Sichuan province
prefecture that administers Serthar, either could not be reached by
telephone Sunday or said they had not heard about the case.
In Serthar, also known as Seda, Tibetan protesters clashed with security
forces last month, leaving at least two Tibetans dead. The government said
the protesters had attacked a police station. It was not known whether
Drubpa Kyab was involved in the protests.
A Tibetan writer living in Beijing, Woeser, said on her much-read blog that
she was familiar with the 33-year-old Drubpa Kyab’s writings. She said that
he is a Serthar native and has been a teacher and writer there for 10 years.
He would be at least the second cultural figure to be detained in the latest
wave of arrests. Dawa Dorje, described as a civil servant and advocate for
promoting traditional Tibetan music and culture, was reportedly arrested two
weeks ago.
