Out LOOK Tibet

Tibetans are still pressing the County government officials, although the deadline for petitioners and protesters to retreat to their respective villages was expired on (3:00 PM, yesterday, 10 December 2009).

- At another place called Thangkarma, around 300 local Tibetans protesters thronged the local government office to demand the immediate release of Tulku Tenzin Delek. During the protest seven women collapsed and became unconscious (time and date unknown). They are still known to be unwell.

- On the other hand, those of 150 Tibetans previously rounded and detained by the People’s Armed Police (PAP) on the night of 5 December 2009 at the Nyagchuka County military garrison compound were fasting and refusing to eat any food served to them unless and until Tulku is released from the prison.

- A few miles from Nyachuka County government headquarter base, at a place called Na-rong, where over 1500 Tibetans were said to be blocked by Chinese security forces from breaking up and staging a protest march towards the main Nyachuka County government headquarter to submit their petition to effect the immediate release of Tulku Tenzin Delek Rinpoche.

Latest information emanating from Na-rong, Thangkarma, Nyachuka suggest that the protesting Tibetans are running out of food and warm clothes and blankets to brace the chilly winter nights and relatives and supporters were denied access to the protesters and petitioners for delivering food and clothes.

- Also according to sources, a group of seven Tibetans proceeded to Chengdu, the provincial capital city of Sichuan Province to submit a petition to the provincial government officials to demand the immediate release of Tulku Tenzin Delek Rinpoche stating that he was “falsely framed and sentenced by the Sichuan Higher People’s Court in 2002”. However, on the way the seven Tibetans were arrested and detained at a place called Thu-cheng (place near Chengdu city) where there is a large prison where many political prisoners are currently imprisoned. Tibetans are still pressing the County government officials, although the deadline for petitioners and protesters to retreat to their respective villages was expired on (3:00 PM, yesterday, 10 December 2009).
