Central Tibetan Administration Welcomes Visit by
Foreign Reporters to Lhasa
We welcome the decision by the Chinese authorities to allow a select group of foreign reporters to visit Lhasa. They must be given full freedom to report on the ongoing crisis in Tibet. The reporters must be given freedom to visit all the monasteries and prisons in Lhasa and elsewhere in Tibet and interview Tibetans without the presence of Chinese minders.
The Central Tibetan Administration has requested the international community to persuade the Chinese government to end the repressions in Tibet, to accept
an international body to look into the present crisis in Tibet, including the allegation that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is behind the ongoing unrest and to
accept receiving an international medical team to look after all those injured in the recent demonstrations and to release all political prisoners, including
those recently arrested. The foreign reporters should ask the Chinese authorities what their response is to these requests.
