‘Suicides By Dalai Lama Supporters’
(N.Z.P.A. Reuter—Copyright)
NEW DELHI, June 9.
Tibetans have been committing suicide rather than denounce the Dalai Lama at Mass meetings organised by the Chinese, the Dalai Lama’s monthly newsletter claimed today.
The newsletter, issued from the New Delhi office of the exiled Tibetan ruler and religious leader, said the Chinese had conducted a house-to-house search in Tibet “on the pretext of a sanitation drive” and had confiscated pictures and relics of the Dalai Lama. The newsletter said Nepalese traders were being discouraged from entering Tibet by travel restrictions, and
claimed it was made almost impossible for them to get food inside Tibetan territory.
The Dalai Lama fled to India after an unsuccessful armed rising against the Chinese in March, 1959.
