Chinese Communist Repression of Buddhists

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Tuesday March 24, 2009 14:52author by Bazooka Joe Report this post to the editors

Chinese Communist Police on patrol in Tibetan community following attacks on police and other Communist Government agents by Buddhist monks.

Armed Communist police prowled the tranquil streets of a Tibetan town in northwest China on Monday, after an anti-government act of resistance. The resistance to Communist oppression was sparked by the suicide of a Buddhist monk ,Tashi Sangpo, 28, who was being 'questioned' in a local police station.

A group of hundreds including monks carried out an attack Saturday on Ragya police station, according to the official Communist Xinhua News Agency.

The Communist government, is eager to prevent a repeat of the anti-Communist resistance that shook Lhasa in March last year and so have been clamping down severely on the most minor act of resistance.

This is why they arrested and interrogated Tashi Sangpo for allegedly unfurling a banned Tibetan flag on the roof of his monastery on March 10. He jumped into a river to commit suicide during his ordeal with the Communist police. His body has not been recovered.

The Dalai Lama has said that Communist restrictions on Tibet's religious practices have caused "cultural genocide."

The Chinese Communists have chosen a boy, Gyaltsen Norbu, as the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama and this boy has urged Tibetans to support the Communist Party of China in Monday's People's Daily newspaper. The original boy called Gendun Choekyi Nyima who was chosen as the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama by the Dalai Lama was disappeared along with his family before the Communists presented their boy.
