Less than a month into 2012, and incidents of violent police
suppression of Tibetans have been reported in Sichuan.
The incidents have caused at least 12 death.
A netizen reports that, on Jan 26, Politburo Standing
Committee member Zhou Yongkang personally led the persecution of Tibetans in Garzê.
At the same time, CCP media People's Daily wrote articles
to refute reports by Human Rights Watch.
According to reports, the Garzê region in Sichuan has
already been blockaded by the regime.
Internet and phone lines have all been cut off.
At the same time, the regime sent large number of police
to restrict citizens from traveling.
Lot's of netizens reported seeing large number of police
cars, military cars, armored vehicles and anti-riot vehicles.
Armed police and special police from Chengdu, Deyang
and Mianyang were also sent.
An AFP reporter's car was intercepted on a highway 300 km
from Luhuo.
In Chengdu Tibetan region 600km from Luhuo, police also
increased security levels, with everywhere full of police posts.
An AFP reporter in the Tibetan region was surrounded by
over police.
They were told photography and interviews are prohibited.
In addition, a Lhasa netizen wrote that Lhasa is almost near
martial law; military is assembled in front of Potala Palace.
Tibetans were warned, those without Chinese flag on their
roof will be fined 600 yuan.
At the same time, Human Rights Watch (HRW) in New York
published it's World Report 2012 on Jan 22.
It is a review of human rights around the world.
The report analyzed human rights conditions in over 90
countries, including mainland China.
However, the Chinese regime's media People's Daily
refuted the Human Rights' Watch report on Jan 26.
The People's Daily accused Human Rights Watch of being
an organization that, "conducts selectively work.
It uses double standards, lacks political neutrality, lacks
personnel oversight, and uses erroneous methods."
It furthers that, "(Human Rights Watch) should get a clear
watch over itself."
The founder of Chinese Human Rights Watch, Qin Yongmin
from Wuhan, spoke to NTD.
The Human Rights Watch annual report, and those accusing
Human Rights Watch are separate issues. These issues shouldn't be mixed.
Qin Yongmin, "Regarding whether Human Rights Watch
and other NGOs have internal issues, this is separate.
It's different from these organizations pointing out issues.
Regarding internal issues of the human rights organization,
we...society should supervise and criticize.
The People's Daily is a government entity criticizing an
American human rights organization.
But does it criticize it's own government like an American
human rights organizations?"
Yang Minghong, Sichuan University Professor at Western
Development Research Institute also refuted the HRW report.
Human Rights's Watch criticized that the Chinese regime
forcing Tibetans to relocate is violating human rights.
Yang claims that relocating over 80% of Tibetans into stable
living conditions, is "improving living conditions of herders."
He wrote, "how can the Human Rights Watch accuse the
welcomed 'stable living project' as violating human rights?"
Li Jianglin, a Chinese-American scholar and author of
"1959 Lhasa" has studied the Tibet issue since 2004.
She expressed, Tibetan herders lost their way of living after
being relocated to a fixed house.
How many Tibetans would choose that?
Li Jianglin, "Tibetans told me, leaving the grassland, their
sacred mountain, their holy lake, they lost their spirit.
This is a very sad thing.
Regarding their livelihood, I think forcing them to relocate
to the place they don't want to be, that's not a solution."
Qin Yongmin expressed, the Chinese regime ruined Tibet's
traditional culture.
Qin Yongmin, "The regime frequently force the Tibetan
people, those monks to study politics, to brainwash them.
This makes them feel that their traditional culture is not only
cut off, but has been raped.
In such conditions, would they feel happy? or extremely
painful?"
Qin Yongmin believes, human rights organizations are the
conscience of society.
Without them, many national and social problems can not
be discovered.
Human rights organizations are like X-Ray machines
for social conflicts.
