Beijing’s brutal repression in Tibet has been ramped up during the Olympics and there are fears there is worse to come.
The Dalai Lama told French parliamentarians last week that increased military and police presence in the region was seeing Tibetans arrested, tortured and summarily executed. He raised concerns that the crackdown would increase in Tibet after the Games.
Similar concerns were expressed by Professor Samdhong Rinpoche, the Prime Minister of the Central Tibetan Administration, earlier in the month. He said his government was in fear of the Olympic aftermath, describing the post-Olympic period as “more dangerous than the present.”
All the evidence is pointing in that direction
