Even as Tibetans inside Tibet are celebrating His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday in various ways, the Chinese authorities continue to directly and indirectly intensify their restrictions, especially in the Tibetan monasteries.
As His Holiness’s birthday approaches, a BBC journalist recently travelled to Kirti Monastery in Ngawa, Amdo. Her first-hand report from the area reveals that Chinese authorities are imposing stricter restrictions on Tibetan monasteries than ever, coinciding with His Holiness’s 90th birthday.
