In a release, Free Tibet quoted an

eyewitness as describing the situation

as “terrifying” and that people were being

“beaten” while “numerous people have been detained”.

The Dharamshala based Central Tibetan Administration in a release today condemned the “use of violence against civilians” and appealed the international community to “intervene so as to restrain the Chinese government from further use of violence”.

According to a release by the exile base

of Kirti monastery in Dharamshala, Tenyi

succumbed to his burn injuries shortly after Chinese security personnel arrested him on January 6.

Tslutrim passed away a day later in the

night of January 7 under increased security restrictions in the region.

“Following their self-immolation, all the

Tibetan shops and business were closed

as a mark of respect and to show solidarity with the family of the two deceased,” the release said.

Calling for the cessation

of official violence, Kirti Rinpoche,

who was formerly a member

of the Tibetan exile cabinet, had urged for the conflict to be resolved through dialogue.

Hundreds of Kirti monks

have since been arrested

or have simply disappeared

with many sentenced to long years

in jail on false charges in closed trials.

Kirti Rinpoche had said that his

monastery was reeling under “a state of terror” as monastic authorities were being replaced by government officials and monks were divided into 55 groups and subjected to “patriotic re-education” and round-the-clock surveillance and random searches.

What the Tibetan people

need are demilitarisation

and greater respect for

fundamental rights and freedom,” Hom added.

Since March 2011,

16 Tibetans have set themselves

ablaze calling for the return of the exiled

Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama and protesting China’s continued occupation of Tibet.

Chinese soldiers are not only manning the streets but also performing military

drills to intimidate local Tibetans

against carrying out demonstrations," Ven. Woebar said.

In 2008, monks from the nearby monasteries

led demonstrations in Lhasa, protesting China’s continued occupation of Tibet and

demanding freedom for Tibet. The protests

quickly spread to other regions, leading to the massive uprisings of Tibetans from all over the Tibetan plateau.
