INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR TIBET DETENTIONS AND DISAPPEARANCES IN TIBET SINCE MARCH 2008: A LIST OF TIBETANS IMPRISONED AFTER THE PROTESTS ICT has been able to identify over 900 people who have been detained since protests began on March 10. This information has been obtained from first hand accounts provided by ICT sources, family members, monks, nuns and laypeople now in exile, and reports by the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, 1 the Tibetan Government in Exile, the Tibetan exile media, official sources, Radio Free Asia, Voice of Tibet, Voice of America, Tibetan non-governmental organizations including Gu Chu Sum and the Tibetan Center for Human Rights and Democracy. Since March, China has resorted to ever harsher measures to subdue and silence the Tibetan people, which are having a dramatic impact in terms of information reaching the outside world. On an official website, the Lhasa authorities have warned that there would be repercussions for Tibetans who “spread rumors, create disturbances and deceive the public,” as part of the political campaign against “separatists.” Similar threats and warnings have been made elsewhere in Tibet as authorities sought to achieve an information blackout. In Jyekundo (Chinese: Yushu) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai, armed police raided households and took away components of satellite televisions, according to the Tibetan government in exile. The same report referred to an official circular stating that Tibetans are not allowed to watch news channels and can only watch state-run television channels (April 22, Tibetan government in exile). As a result of the measures to prevent information leaving Tibet, and the climate of fear on the plateau, this political prisoner list cannot be comprehensive and the full number of Tibetans in detention since March 10 is not known. Tibetan sources take great risk in communicating such information to the outside world, and it is a testimony to the courage of Tibetans in Tibet that ICT has been able to make this information public. Reports in the state media in March and April confirm the detention of 4434 people described as “rioters” who participated in protests in March and had been detained or surrendered by April 9. 2 This figure apparently covered Lhasa in the TAR and Gannan (Chinese: Kanlho) TAP in Gansu province (Xinhua, April 9), as well as in Ngaba prefecture in Sichuan province (People’s Daily, March 25), but does not include every Tibetan area of the PRC. According to an analysis of state media by the CECC, including a June 21 China Daily article reporting on the release of “1157 people who 119
