Military presence in eastern Tibet
New eyewitness reports from eastern Tibet received by ICT indicate an intimidating presence of People's Liberation Army, People's Armed Police and Public Security Bureau personnel in Tibetan areas of Sichuan province (Kham, eastern Tibet), with roadblocks to prevent the movement of monks and nuns. A source who has recently returned from the area stated: "All roads going into and out of every town beyond Dartsedo (Chinese: Kangding, Sichuan), are heavily fortified, camouflaged bunker style, mounted automatic rifles, People's Armed Police in riot gear with shields and metal batons, short shotguns (likely for tear-gas) and People's Liberation Army soldiers. These roadblocks prevent the movement of monks and nuns, I was told, but it seemed as though local lay people were waved through quickly. Some towns' checkpoints were tighter than others. All government buildings were fortified with bunkers and People's Liberation Army troops." A further account of the climate of fear in Tibetan areas was given by a young Tibetan student whose identity has been withheld, and who wrote about the current situation in a letter that has been obtained by ICT: "In Kham and in Tso-ngön (Qinghai), knowing the despicable deceit and cruel strategies of the Chinese government, [Tibetans organized] 'peace marches' to express for once their deep longing for freedom and democracy, but even so, the government still branded them as 'separatists' and 'terrorists', and many Tibetan brothers and sisters were savagely beaten, and are in jail even now. Many Tibetans, including children, the elderly, youth, women and so on, providing sport for the soldiers in prison, gave their lives for the freedom of their people, or for the sake of the future generation. According to one Tibetan who was released from prison: 'The means used by the Chinese government to implement this suppression are unspeakably cruel. Those used on Tibetans languishing in dark prison cells are even more terrible. When I was in prison, the soldiers beat and killed Tibetans indiscriminately, some were used for martial arts practice, some were stabbed, some were pissed on, kicked in the face, and then put to death, many shot." The United Nations Committee against Torture, which presented its findings on November 21, noted a "deepened climate of fear" in Tibet in recent months. China, like other State parties to the Torture Convention is required to submit periodic reports to the Committee on its implementation of the provisions of the Convention. The Committee expressed deep concern about allegations "corroborated by numerous Chinese legal sources, of routine and widespread use of torture" and, in its section on Tibet, "longstanding reports of torture, beatings, shackling and other abusive treatment, in particular of Tibetan monks and nuns, at the hands of public officials, public security and state security, as well as paramilitary and even unofficial personnel at the instigation or with the acquiescence or consent of public officials
