Preventing Rights Of Tibetan Exiles In Nepal To Hold Peaceful Rallies

Issue 11, March 17, 2013

By KTM Metro Reporter

March 11, 2013: the government of Nepal has taken strict measure not to allow Tibetan exiles in Nepal and the sympathizers to hold any sorts of rallies for celebrating the March-10 Day of the first uprising of Tibetans against the Chinese rule in Tibet in 1959. The Nepalese police had kept the Tibetan exiles in Nepal under surveillance. The police did not allow even a few Tibetans coming together at the Boudha Buddhist temple in Kathmandu.

Not long ago, a Tibetan monk had set himself on fire protesting against the Chinese rule in Tibetan at the Boudha temple in Kathmandu, and died in the state-run Teaching hospital in Maharajgunj in Kathmandu. Initially, the government wanted to turn over the dead body of the monk to his relatives only but now, nobody had claimed the body, yet, according to the local news media.

The local people and the monks had held a peace march starting at Boudha temple a few days ago praying for not repeating the case of self-immolation again at the Boudha temple. A few cases of self-immolation have been reported in the past. For the Buddhist believers, the only way to fight against the Chinese rule in Tibet is self-immolation say the Tibetan exiles in Nepal.

Tibetans want the spiritual leader the Dalai Lama back in Tibet but the Chinese rulers did not want to see him anywhere in the world. The Dalai Lama had asked for the limited autonomous for Tibet but the Chinese rulers were adamant to keep the Tibetans under their repressive thumbs.

The government of Nepal has been taking the side of the Chinese rulers even not allowing the Tibetans to enjoy their basic human rights to peaceful protests against the Chinese rulers in Nepal. The government of Nepal has been taking the stand on ‘Tibet is an integral party of China’. The government of Nepal had closed the office of the representative of the Dalai Lama in Kathmandu under the pressure of the Chinese authorities.
