DHARAMSHALA, November 9: Thousands of Tibetan school students in the Rebkong
region of eastern Tibet are carrying out a major street protest at the time
of filing this report.
Sources have told Phayul that 5000 to 6000 students began protesting in the
streets of Rongwo town since 5 am (local time), raising slogans for His
Holiness the Dalai Lama’s return and rights of the Tibetan people.
“The students have been protesting in front of the major Chinese government
offices and have jam-packed entire streets in the region,” Dorjee Wangchuk
, an exiled Tibetan with contacts in the region said.
“The students have been reciting the ancient Tibetan prayer hymn for His
Holiness the Dalai Lama (Ghang-ri Ra-wei Kor-wei) and raised slogans calling
for freedom in Tibet, the rights of the Tibetan people, and the return of
the Dalai Lama to Tibet.”
As per reports, students from all the schools in the four districts in the
region – Thunring, Chentsa, Tsekhog, and Yulgan – in addition to students
in Rebkong, have joined the protests.
“Armed forces have been deployed outside the major Chinese government
offices where the students are demonstrating,” the same source said. “
Although Chinese security forces have restrained from breaking up the
students protests, the situation is getting more and more tense.”
Phayul is also getting reports of local Tibetans beginning to assemble in
large numbers at the Dolma Square in front of the Rongwo Monastery. Monks of
the Monastery have been carrying out prayers there since morning.
Tibetan school students joining protests at the Dolma Square in front of the
Rongwo Monastery, where Kalsang Jinpa, 18, passed away in his self-
immolation protest on November 8, 2012.
Yesterday, thousands of Tibetans gathered at the Dolma Square after 18-year-
old nomad, Kalsang Jinpa, set himself on fire protesting against China’s
occupation of Tibet. The former monk of the Rongwo Monastery raised a white
banner carrying 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.
Rebkong alone has witnessed three self-immolations just this month. Tamding
Tso, 23, mother of a six-year-old son passed away in her fiery protest
yesterday in Dowa, while Dorjee Lhundup, 25, father of two children, died in
his protest on November 4.
In two days, Tibet has witnessed six self-immolations – three in Ngaba, two
in Rebkong, and one in Driru. These protests coincide with the Chinese
Communist Party’s week-long 18th National Congress, which began yesterday
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. | A**D
