On Jan 31, a group of 25 Tibetans were caught trying to flee into Nepal.
The group included adults and children up to eight years old. They had
to pay a fine and some of the adults were led to work off their fines in
construction work. One of the Tibetans, who is now in exile reported
they were taken to a detention center in Dingri. Some of the adults had
cattle prod's used on them while in the detention center. Their was not
any apparent behavior that elicited the harsh treatment, and officials
were not respond to any questions on the matter.
This is on the heels of the shooting that occured this pass fall in September, when other Tibetans were attempting to flee into Nepal. Most of the people fleeing to Nepal are seeking blessing from their spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.
