Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
|
Tibet, and its capital, resemble regions under siege since the March 14 riot when citizens angry at Beijing's rule rampaged in the streets, attacking ethnic Han Chinese. (article 3)
Internal Communist party documents have revealed that China is planning a programme of harsh political repression in Tibet despite a public show of moderation to win over world opinion before the Olympic Games next month. (article 1)
A campaign of "re-education" has been outlined in confidential speeches to meetings of Communist party members by Zhang Qingli, the hardline party secretary of Tibet. (article 1)
Verbatim texts of the speeches have been kept out of the Chinese media but were printed in the April and May editions of the Xigang Tongxun (Tibet Communications) - a classified publication restricted to party officials. (article 1)
Zhang has admitted behind closed doors that the Chinese authorities in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, face "a tide of encirclement" and that anti-Chinese violence in March "destroyed social stability". (article 1)
More than 1,000 Buddhist monks are still locked up under armed guard in monasteries around Lhasa, four months after anti-Chinese riots, while the authorities implement their harshest crackdown on religion in decades. (article 4)
