Missing: monks who defied Beijing


By Nigel Morris

"They were the 15 youthful Tibetan monks – three still in their teens – who sparked a rebellion by daring to speak out against China's repression of their homeland.

"The group paraded peacefully down Barkhor Street in Lhasa old town on 10 March handing out leaflets, chanting pro-independence slogans and carrying the banned Tibetan flag. Their demand was that the Chinese government that has ruled Tibet since 1951 should ease a 'patriotic re-education' campaign which forced them to denounce the Dalai Lama and subjected them to government propaganda.

"The reaction of the authorities, desperate to snuff out the most serious uprising against Chinese rule for almost half a century, was rapid and brutal. The group was detained on the spot, with eyewitnesses reporting that several of the monks suffered severe beatings as they were arrested and taken away. They have not been seen since.

"Amnesty International called last night for their immediate release, along with all the other anti-Chinese demonstrators picked up in the past three weeks. The human rights organisation said they were at 'high risk of torture and other ill treatment' and called on supporters to write to Hu Jintao, the Chinese President, with copies to the Chinese embassy in London.

These protests were far from peaceful. Ordinary citizens were killed by these rioters. I was there. What you wrote here, is simply disgusting.
