Dharamshala: Starting from
10th March this year, Tibetans from all over Tibet started a series of
peaceful demonstrations to express their dissatisfaction with the
Chinese policies. The Kashag had earlier hoped that these
demonstrations will stop.

However, partly due to heavy-handed response of the authorities to
these peaceful expressions that the demonstrations continued to spread
all over Tibet and the situation is getting worse.

Therefore, we are deeply concerned and have also urged the
People’s Republic of China for due consideration to take these
incidents with all seriousness and not to take further repressive
actions. The situation urgently demands the attention of the
governments, parliaments and the international community to persuade
the leadership of People’s Republic of China to refrain from further
repressive measures and to restore normalcy through peaceful means.
