Date: 24th March 2008 First Reported Death Due To Hunger The severe restriction on the movement of people in a Martial Law like situation in Tibet and the heavy military presence around the monasteries since the 14th of March today reports the first death from starvation of Thogmey, a monk from Ramoche Monastery in Lhasa. In addition, food and water supplies continues to be cut off to all the monasteries that took part in peaceful demonstrations in the whole of Tibet. It is difficult to estimate the exact number of casualties in other monasteries all over Tibet under similar situations.To name few specific instances, Palkho from Ngapa Kyashung sustained bullet injuries on March 16th and died on March 22nd due to lack of medical care. Tibetans who accompanied him to the hospital have also been arrested. 20 nuns have been arrested from Suwa Mamai Monastery in middle of the night and immediately taken away without even time to put on clothes. In Dzoge Shagdom, 600 PLA personnel arrested 6 Tibetans during a peaceful demonstration. There are another 15 people arrested from Ngaba Chashang. Door to door search and arbitrary arrests have been reported from many parts of Tibet now. However, it is difficult to ascertain exact figures. Countless numbers of armies have been deployed in all parts of Tibet and would be stationed till the Beijing Olympic Games. 500 Tibetans in Golog Dharlag Dzong positioned themselves in the mountains to avoid arrests. Chinese authorities have posted written posters granting PLA’s armies the permission to shoot at any sight of protests and therefore, Tibetans are fleeing to the mountains to avoid interrogation and arrests. Chinese authorities have given March 25 as the deadline to surrender in Kanlho and Ngaba prefectures. One common behavior of China’s display of propaganda is an attempt to create false evidences and tempt monks in Kirti Monastery with huge amount of money to disclose confidential information. The present crisis situation since the 10th of March is as follows: �� 135 peaceful Tibetan demonstrators have been killed in Tibet�� More than 500 Tibetans have been grievously injured �� More than 1,300 innocent Tibetans have been detained and are being tortured �� Door to door search and arbitrary arrests are being conducted �� Martial Law like situation in Tibet �� Thousands of People’s Liberation Army has been deployed and plans to deployment more �� The atmosphere is very tense. However, many new protests are occurring daily �� Foreign Press are asked to leave Tibet �� Tibet is being blacked out to carry out atrocities without international scrutiny �� PLA and Chinese police disguised as monks to instigate further troubles in Tibet Footages are being doctored and subtitled to satisfy China’s propaganda �� China is using massive State propaganda to divide the Tibetans in Tibet�� Food and water have been cut off to all the monasteries that took part in peaceful demonstrations �� Severe restriction on movement and army cordon has reported first death due to Starvation In view of the present crisis in Tibet, we urgently appeal to the UN and the International community to •Immediately dispatch independent fact finding delegations to Tibet•Immediately allow free press to cover the whole of Tibet •Immediately end the brutal killings in the whole of Tibet •Immediately release all arrested and imprisoned Tibetans •Extend immediate medical assistance to the injured Tibetans
•Allow free movement of people and provide access to daily needs Through this press release, we thank the governments, world leaders, organizations, individuals and particularly the Chinese intellectuals (who have presented a memorandum to Chinese leadership to address the crisis in Tibet in a humane and responsible manner) for supporting the Tibetans in this hour of darkness. We condemn the house arrest of Chinese scholar Wang Lixiong and Tibetan scholar Tsering Woeser in their house in Beijing. - Tibetan Solidarity Committee 24/03/2008Hoist the Flag ang Tie the Armbandszôh-GŸÝP-¤P-²-iG-¾Å-ºGݾ-±ôGÅ-VßP-ü TIBETAN SOLIDARITY COMMITTEE (Tibetan Government-in-Exile) Ref no:................ Date: 24th March 2008 Circular: Hoist the Flag and Tie the Armbands The non-violent demonstrations, which began on March 10, 2008 in Lhasa, have now spread all over three different provinces of Tibet. These unplanned peaceful protests have been met with severe repercussions leaving hundred of Tibetans killed, several hundreds injured, and thousands imprisoned unjustly. The Tibetan Solidarity Committee, constituted by the Kashag and the Tibetan Parliament in exile, urgently request all Tibetans and international Tibetan supporters to hoist the Tibetan National Flag on their rooftops or any location where the flag is highly visible. In addition to hoisting the National flag, tie a black armband on the right arm until the crisis concludes, to show our solidarity with Tibetans suffering inside Tibet. The black armband is to represent the current crisis inside Tibet. In order to create a stronger message, we declare Sunday, March 30, 2008 the day to concurrently hoist the Tibetan National flag in unity. This action may be carried out at a given time to be decided locally. We appreciate your cooperation in advance. - Tibetan Solidarity Committee March 24, 2008 Crida del Comité de Solidaritat Tibetana
Tibetan Solidarity Committee’s Calls Upon Tibetans inside and outside Tibet and Appeal to the International Tibet Supporters: All successful non-violent movements around the world under authoritarian leaderships had three basic characteristics: Unity, Strategic Planning, and Nonviolent Discipline. If we Tibetans have to succeed, we need all of the above three characteristics or else the result of the determination, courage and sacrifice of the Tibetans inside Tibet could go in vain. Highly committed human resource with skill and knowledge is the foundation of non-violent struggle and is extremely valuable. For non-violence is the war of ideas; therefore, our movement should be guided by innovative and novel ideas to express deep resentment. Authoritarian and repressive government such as China is known for using brute force against unarmed demonstrators, not only to Tibetans but also their own people. China is infamous for using all state machineries to doctor evidence and propagandas hoping to confuse and fool the world with additional lies to cover up past lies as Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabo have been doing the last few days. Thus, we must consider our actions with caution, because China is waiting to label Tibetans as terrorists and try to legitimize their crackdown internationally. We are happy to note that the demonstrations inside Tibet, led by monks and nuns initially, are largely peaceful, unless provoked by the Chinese Police and the Army. The widespread non-violent protests across the three provinces of Tibet are unprecedented and now have been joined by students, villagers, farmers, nomads, and urban residents. Through this statement of appeal, we want to pay our homage to all the Tibetan martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for the cause of Tibet and moreover, we want to express our utmost respect to everyone’s courage and determination in this time of turmoil. At the same time, we request everyone to maintain non-violent in our actions and not indulge in any act of violence. The urgent expression of solidarity and active support by governments and the international community is in the need of hour. All Tibetans in Exile in India, Nepal, Europe, the Americas and Australia, have zôhôhôh-GŸÝPÝPÝP-¤P-²-iG-¾Å-ºGݾÝ-±ôGôGôGÅ-VßPßPßP-ü TIBETAN SOLIDARITY COMMITTEE -Tibetan Government-in-Exile Ref No:................ Date:................ undertaken massive peaceful demonstrations all around the world. As it often happens, the scale of the protests become overwhelming that there are dangers of creating unnecessary tensions within the Tibetan community or with our host communities. Therefore, remaining non-violent in discipline becomes even more crucial. According to a reliable source, a leader of Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) said that “they (China) have planted many Tibetans in Exile and the time has now come to use them.” The committee is concerned that miscreants and Chinese agents may create problems between us and the Police, us and our hosts and within our community. We appeal to all movement leaders and the general public to be alert of such agents. In the last 10 days, the victims of Chinese brutality have surpassed 80 deaths (Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy quotes a minimum of 65 confirmed killed), more than 400 people injured and more than a thousand arrested as of 19th March 2008. We demand immediate end to thekillings, release all imprisoned Tibetans, and international medical community’s help for the injured Tibetans. For this very purpose, a united and concerted efforts by the Tibetans in Exile and Tibet supporters around the world is indeed the need of the hour. Therefore, we urgently call upon all the Tibetan organizations, the general public, and appeal to the international Tibet supporters to work in a coordinated and planned manner with the same message to convey to the whole world to help resolve the present crisis in Tibet. In order to achieve our goal, the committee has come up with certain guidelines. From time to time, our committee will come up with concurrent actions worldwide. In the meantime, all leaders and activists are advised to carry on with their present protests conforming within the Tibetan Solidarity Committee’s guidelines. All the members of Parliaments have been designated to oversee and lead movements in their respective regions co-ordination with local administrator and NGO’s. Please direct to our website for individual members of Parliament’s contact information at www.stoptibetcrisis.net and www.tibet.net. We also request that daily local reports with photos be send to stoptibetcrisis@gmail.com. Lastly, we are indebted to the many nations, organizations and individuals who have already expressed their concern to the Chinese government. However, we need to work harder to put more concrete pressure on the Chinese leadership.
