The supporting campaign news for Tibet report documents the following new developments in the Tibetan region:
* Further detentions of Tibetans, including a young art teacher, local nomad who expressed support for Runggye Adak and the Dalai Lama, and a senior monk respected for his commitment to Tibetan education, in the Lithang area
* An increased and intimidating military presence in the two neighboring counties of Lithang and Kardze, both in Kardze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (in the Tibetan area of Kham)
* An intensified political campaign that requires Tibetan monks, nuns,
laypeople and children to denounce the Dalai Lama. The stepping up of
this anti-Dalai Lama campaign in the region coincides with a period when
the Dalai Lama himself is increasingly received by world leaders and
respected for his leadership on peace.
