Video: 19 March 2008 Vigil for Tibet - BoingBoing VLog (Xeni
Jardin)
Tibetans and their supporters around the world held vigils
this week in support of the ongoing uprising in Tibet, as Chinese military and
police jailed protesters inside Tibet, and reports of injuries and deaths
continue.
From Boing Boing TV - 19 March 2008: Xeni visited
one such vigil in front of the LA Federal building, organized by Southern
California Tibetans, including Namgyal Kyulo of the
Tibetan
Association of Southern California, and Tseten Phanucharas, of the
Los Angeles
Friends of Tibet.
VIDEO: Tibet’s ‘Wired Monks’ Report
Abuse - Interview with The Tibet Connection's Lhakpa Khizom
In her latest vblog for
BoingBoingTV, Xeni Jardin reports that nearly 600 Tibetan monks at Kirti
Monastery in
Amdo
have been detained by PRC military forces, who confiscated their communication
tools and forced them to participate in staged videos.
Using cell phones, these monks had photographed
dead and injured participants during the
March protests and disseminated the images to supporters outside Tibet,
using connected computers and mobile devices. Jardin speaks with
Tibet
Connection radio producer Lhakpa Kyizom, who is based in
Dharamsala, India, home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in
exile.
