China has blamed the “Dalai Lama clique” for the deaths that it says occurred during last week’s Lhasa uprising.
Several hundred inmates of the Sera and Drepung monasteries had spilled into the streets last Friday to mark the 49th anniversary of the failed Tibetan uprising against Beijing; and more in the Ganden and Lutsang monasteries in Qinghai (Amdo in Tibetan) had shouted slogans urging the Dalai Lama to return from his exile in India’s Dharamsala district. There is no source other than the state-run Xinhua news agency to confirm the death toll. A provincial official was quoted as saying, “The victims are all innocent civilians and they have been burnt to death.” He added that no foreigner was among the victims, but that several Chinese policemen were injured – though none critically. In reality, the toll could be very much higher.
