Breaking: Tibet burns on eve of crucial China meet
Phayul[Wednesday, November 07, 2012 19:05]
DHARAMSHALA, November 7: In confirmed reports coming out of Tibet, a Tibetan woman set herself on fire today in an apparent protest against China’s occupation, on the eve of the Chinese Communist Party’s 18th National Congress.
Tamding Tso, a 23-year-old mother of one, passed away in her self-immolation protest in Rebkong region of Amdo, eastern Tibet.
In unconfirmed reports, Phayul is hearing of two to three more self-immolation protests today in Rebkong and Ngaba regions of Tibet. As of now, Phayul cannot independently confirm these reports.
Sources have told Phayul that Tamding Tso of Dro Rongwo set herself on fire near the Ghe Mar thang (a ground) at around 5.30 pm today. She is survived by her six year-old son.
According to eyewitnesses, Tamding Tso shouted, “His Holiness the Dalai Lama must come to Tibet,” before setting herself on fire.
Following the self-immolation protest, monks of the Dowa Monastery carried her charred body to her home. At the filing of this report, over two thousands Tibetans are reportedly gathered in the region, raising slogans for the return of the Dalai Lama from exile and offering prayers.
64 known Tibetans have set themselves on fire since 2009 in Tibet, protesting China’s continued occupation and demanding freedom and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile.
Last week, Dorjee Lhundup, 25, father of a four-year-old son and two-year-old daughter, passed away in his self-immolation protest in Rebkong calling for freedom in Tibet and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile.
Thousands of Tibetans gathered to pay their last respects to Dorjee Lhundup later that day.
Speaking to reporters in Japan earlier this week, the Dalai Lama said that Xi Jinping, who is expected to take over the reins from Hu Jintao at the Party Congress beginning tomorrow, will have no choice but to embark on political reforms.
"Now Hu Jintao's era (is the) past, now Xi Jinping is coming as president. I think there's no alternative except some political change, so political reform. Economy reform (is) already there," reporters quoted the Dalai Lama as saying.

DHARAMSHALA, November 7: In more alarming reports coming out of Tibet three teenaged Tibetan monks set themselves on fire today in a triple self-immolation protest outside a Chinese police station in Ngaba, eastern Tibet.
The three monks have been identified as Dorjee, 15-year-old, Samdup, 16-year-old, and Dorjee Kyab, 16-year-old. All three were monks of the Ngoshul Monastery, located at around 12 kms west of Ngaba district.
The three monks set themselves on fire in front of the local Chinese police station at around 3 pm (local time). Dorjee, 15, is believed to have passed away, while the two others have reportedly been taken to a hospital by Chinese security personnel.
“The three Tibetan martyrs raised slogans calling for freedom in Tibet and that His Holiness the Dalai Lama should be allowed to return to Tibet, before setting themselves on fire,” Kanyag Tsering, an exiled monk with close contacts in the region said.
“15-year-old Dorjee succumbed to his injuries at the site of the protest, while Samdup and Dorjee Kyab have reportedly been taken to the Ngaba district hospital by Chinese security personnel.”
Following the protests, the entire Ngaba district is currently under increased surveillance with restrictions placed on the movement of local Tibetans.
“Ngoshul Monastery is under severe restrictions and further communications to the region failed,” Tsering added.
The three monks are the youngest Tibetans to have set themselves on fire since the fiery wave of protests began in 2009.
The self-immolation protests by the three monks in Ngaba and one Tibetan woman, Tamding Tso in Rebkong today comes on the eve of Chinese Communist Party’s 18th National Congress in Beijing.
The Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile today urged China’s new leadership under Xi Jinping to “desist from the existing policy of avoidance or the false notion of not accepting the existence of a Tibetan Issue” and instead “revive the channels of meaningful contacts to resolve the longstanding issue of Tibet.”
Tibetan lawmakers also urged the 18th Congress to “seriously deliberate on the continuing spate of self- immolations in Tibet, conduct a thorough investigation into the underlying causes and develop corrective policies and measures that meets the aspiration of the Tibetan people.”
With the four self-immolations today in Tibet, 67 Tibetans have now set themselves on fire since 2009 demanding freedom in Tibet and the return of the Dalai Lama from exile.
PROSEGUE LA DRAMMATICA SEQUENZA DELLE IMMOLAZIONI: QUATTRO NUOVI CASI NELLA SOLA GIORNATA DI OGGI
7 novembre 2012. Tamdin Tso, una nomade ventitreenne, madre di un bimbo di soli cinque anni, e tre giovanissimi monaci del monastero di Ngoshul, nel distretto di Ngaba, si sono dati fuoco oggi, vigilia del Congresso del Partito Comunista. Tamdin Tso si è data fuoco ed è morta nelle vicinanze di Rongwo, contea di Rebkong (Amdo). Tamdin ha prelevato la benzina da una motocicletta, l’ha cosparsa sulle sue vesti e si è data alle fiamme invocando il ritorno del Dalai Lama in Tibet.
Tamdin Tso
è morta a Dro Rongwo, nei pressi del pascolo dove svernava con la sua famiglia, attorno alle 17.30, ora locale. I monaci del vicino monastero di Dowa hanno restituito ai parenti i resti carbonizzati del suo corpo. Appena saputa la notizia, oltre duemila tibetani si sono radunati chiedendo a gran voce il ritorno del Dalai Lama in Tibet e recitando preghiere.
Erano tre teenager i monaci del monastero di Ngoshul, situato a 12 chilometri dal distretto di Ngaba, di cui è giunta conferma dell’auto immolazione. Sono stati identificati come Dorjee (quindici anni), Samdup (sedici anni) e Dorjee Kyab (sedici anni). Si sono dati fuoco di fronte alla locale stazione di polizia. Sembra che Dorjee sia deceduto. Samdup e Dorjee Kyab sono stati ricoverati all’ospedale di Ngaba dal personale di sicurezza cinese.
Dall’esilio indiano, un monaco in contatto con i connazionali all’interno del Tibet ha fatto sapere che, prima di darsi fuoco i tre martiri tibetani hanno gridato slogan a favore della libertà del Tibet e del ritorno del Dalai Lama. L’intero distretto di Ngaba è ora strettamente presidiato dal personale di sicurezza e sono state imposte severe limitazioni alla libertà di movimento della popolazione locale.
I tre monaci sono i più giovani tibetani che hanno cercato la morte come atto estremo di protesta contro l’occupazione del Tibet. Con le quattro immolazioni odierne sale a 67 il numero dei martiri tibetani che hanno sacrificato le loro vite all’interno del paese e la spirale delle immolazioni sembra non avere fine. Inascoltati gli appelli a non sacrificare le loro vite lanciati dall’Amministrazione Tibetana e dallo stesso Dalai Lama che dal Giappone, dove si trova in questi giorni, ha dichiarato che Xi Jinping, che il XII Congresso del Partito designerà alla carica di nuovo presidente cinese, non avrà altra scelta se non quella di operare riforme politiche. Ma Pechino sembra non ascoltare gli appelli, da qualsiasi parte provengano. In risposta alle richieste avanzate la scorsa settimana dall’Alto Commissario ONU per i diritti umani, Navi Pillay, un portavoce del ministero degli esteri cinesi ha ribadito che le immolazioni vengono fomentate dalla cricca del Dalai Lama e ha parlato di interferenze straniere negli affari cinesi alle quali Pechino si oppone fermamente.

Breaking: Another self-immolation today, Six Tibetans burn in two days
Phayul[Thursday, November 08, 2012 15:21]
DHARAMSHALA, November 8: In more heartbreaking news coming out of Tibet, yet another Tibetan set himself on fire today in an apparent protest against China’s occupation of Tibet.
18-year-old nomad, Kalsang Jinpa, set himself on fire at the Dolma Square in front of the Rongwo Monastery in Rebkong, eastern Tibet. The former monk of the Rongwo Monastery raised a white banner with slogans calling for the Dalai Lama’s return and the rights of the Tibetan people before setting himself ablaze. He passed away in his fiery protest.
Sources tell Phayul that thousands of Tibetans have gathered at the Dolma Sqaure to pay their last respects to Kalsang Jinpa. Situation there is being described as tense with the crowd raising slogans for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and freedom in Tibet.
Further details are awaited at the filing of this report.
Yesterday, Tamding Tso, a 23-year-old mother of one, passed away in her self-immolation protest in the same region. In another instance yesterday, three teenaged monks of the Ngoshul Monastery in Ngaba region set themselves on fire in a triple self-immolation protest. Dorjee, 15 passed away in his protest, while the condition of Samdup, 16, and Dorjee Kyab, 16, is not yet known.
Confirming today’s self-immolation protest in Rebkong, the Dharamshala based Central Tibetan Administration also confirmed a fifth self-immolation protest that took place yesterday, November 7, in Driru region of Nagchu, central Tibet.
In two days, Tibet has witnessed an alarming escalation in the fiery protests with six confirmed self-immolations. These protests coincide with the Chinese Communist Party’s week-long 18th National Congress, which began today in Beijing. China's heir apparent Xi Jinping will be taking over the mantle of leadership, along with a new team, by the end of the meeting.
The deepening crisis inside Tibet has witnessed large scale anti-China protests and a series of self-immolations that has now seen 69 Tibetans set themselves on fire, since 2009, demanding freedom and the return of the Dalai Lama from exile.
TIBET: ANCORA UNA SETTIMANA DI FIAMME E MORTE. SEI IMMOLAZIONI IN DUE GIORNI. MIGLIAIA DI TIBETANI PROTESTANO A REBKONG
Dharamsala, 8 novembre 2012. Non cessa l’ondata di auto immolazioni che in un vertiginoso crescendo stanno infiammando il Tibet. Appena pubblicata la notizia delle quattro immolazioni di ieri, 7 novembre (Tamdin Tso e i tre giovanissimi monaci del monastero di Ngoshul), è giunta in serata la conferma di un nuovo caso, il quinto nella stessa giornata, verificatosi a Bekhar, nella contea di Driru, nel Tibet centrale. E ancora, oggi, un altro tibetano si è dato la morte con il fuoco: Kalsang Jinpa, un ragazzo nomade di 18 anni. Sei nuovi eroi in soli due giorni portano a 69 il numero dei casi di auto immolazione all’interno del Tibet. E purtroppo nulla fa sperare che questi eroici atti di resistenza possano cessare.
Non si conosce il nome e l’età del tibetano che si è immolato ieri sera a Bekhar. Citando contatti all’interno del Tibet, un monaco residente nell’India del sud ha dichiarato di essere venuto a conoscenza del nuovo caso attorno alle 20.00 (ora dell’India), proprio mentre era al telefono con un connazionale in Tibet. “Travolti dalla commozione i tibetani gridavano mentre le forze di polizia arrivavano immediatamente sul posto”.
Kalsang Jinpa, un ragazzo nomade di soli 18 anni, ex monaco del monastero di Rongwo, si è dato fuoco nel pomeriggio di oggi, attorno alle 16 (ora locale), in piazza Dolma, di fronte al monastero di Rongwo, a Rebkong. Prima di portare a compimento il suo atto estremo, ha alzato un cartello in cui erano scritte le sue richieste: il ritorno del Dalai Lama e il rispetto dei diritti dei tibetani. E’ deceduto sul luogo della protesta. I monaci del monastero di Rongwo lo hanno avvolto nelle khata, le sciarpe segno di omaggio e rispetto, e deposto sotto una grande fotografia del Dalai Lama.
Riferisce il sito tibetano Phayul che migliaia di tibetani, 6000 o addirittura 10.000, si sono radunati a piazza Dolma, chiedendo il ritorno del Dalai Lama e pregando per la sua lunga vita. Altri tibetani, portando ritratti del Dalai Lama, sono arrivati dai villaggi vicini. Sembra che, nella vicina città di Dowa, di cui erano originari sia Tamdin Tso sia Kalsang Jinpa, giovanissimi studenti abbiano ammainato la bandiera cinese dagli uffici governativi e dalle scuole ed issato al suo posto la bandiera tibetana. In marcia verso Rongwo, gridavano slogan contro il governo cinese. Oggi, in tutta l’area, la situazione era estremamente tesa. La contea di Rebkong è presidiata da personale paramilitare con l’ordine di impedire alla popolazione di Dowa di raggiungere la folla dei dimostranti a Rongwo. La televisione ha annunciato che chiunque minacci la stabilità della regione sarà severamente punito.

Sikyong Dr Sangay: Blame and solution for self-immolations lie with Beijing
Phayul[Friday, November 09, 2012 03:14]
DHARAMSHALA, November 9: The exile Tibetan administration has condemned China’s allegations that the Tibetan leadership is behind the ongoing wave of self-immolation protests in Tibet.
“The blame and solution for the present tragedy in Tibet lies entirely with Beijing,” Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay, the elected head of the Tibetan people, said Thursday. “We welcome representatives of the Chinese government as well as that of any independent international body to investigate these allegations by visiting our offices in Dharamshala, India.”
“We firmly believe that an end to repression will effectively end the cycle self-immolation,” Dr Sangay added.
China has repeatedly blamed the Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the exile Tibetan administration for “inciting” the self-immolation protests in Tibet.
China's foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters last month that “the Dalai clique has incited some people to self-immolate in order to realise their goals.”
However, the Chinese government hasn’t till date offered any evidence linking the two.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi earlier this month, the Dalai Lama dismissed Chinese government’s accusations and invited a delegation to come to his exile hometown of Dharamshala and examine his conversations with the visitors.
"I am a free spokesman for the Tibet issue. I take orders from fellow Tibetans and do not direct them to any action," the Tibetan spiritual leader said.
The Dalai Lama further stated that China’s repressive policies and the unbearable situation in Tibet are forcing Tibetans to set themselves of fire in Tibet.
"The unbearable situation in Tibet is the cause for these unfortunate events. I am very sad about the turn of events. These are symptoms of fear, hard line suppressive policy practiced by China in Tibet. The time has come for China to think more realistically," reporters quoted the 77-year-old world leader as saying.
The Central Tibetan Administration, in the release, affirmed that the reasons for the self-immolations are self-evident: political repression, economic marginalisation, environmental destruction, and cultural assimilation.
“Chinese leaders selected during the 18th Party Congress must recognise that China’s hardline policies in Tibet have utterly failed and only through dialogue can a peaceful and lasting solution be found,” CTA said.
In the last two days, six more Tibetans set themselves on fire across Tibet, taking the total number of self-immolations to 69 in Tibet since 2009.
The CTA has appealed to the 47-member states of the United Nations Human Rights Council to convene a Special Session on Tibet in view of the “desperate and unprecedented spate of self-immolations by Tibetans due to China’s repressive policies and the continued intransigence of the Chinese leadership to the relentless efforts of UNHRC.”
The appeal came a day after the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay urged China to “promptly address the longstanding grievances that have led to an alarming escalation in desperate forms of protest, including self-immolations, in Tibetan areas.”
Pillay said she was disturbed by "continuing allegations of violence against Tibetans seeking to exercise their fundamental human rights," and urged China to allow independent and impartial monitors to visit and assess the actual conditions on the ground, and to lift restrictions on media access to the region, as a confidence-building measure.
