Obey Our Calls for Calm, Not Those of Secessionist Scoundrels: Beijing

LHASA: State authorities in Tibet Autonomous Region have appealed to Tibetans to respond to legitimate calls for calm in the normality following last week’s riots, not those of the Dalai Lama.

“Dalai is a monster,” said veteran Tibetan official Ragdi. “Anyone found surrendering to police or going about their lawful business in his name can expect to feel the full force of the law.”

Ragdi, former vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, said the situation was now basically under control, but stressed the need for rioters to give themselves up for the right reasons.

“Whoever heeds deceitful, secessionist pleas for peaceful co-existence in preference to the pleas for peaceful co-existence of the rightful authorities is no friend of Tibet! It would be better to carry on looting than to be swayed by the non-violent remarks of the Dalai clique in its hypocrisy, which are only intended to sabotage the Olympics.”

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qui-Gon Jin added that the unrest was caused by fraudulent entreaties to end it from the exiled hierophant, rather than by anything done to nuns with high-voltage devices by the lawful government of the country, even though the government is basically in complete control of the situation.

“His true secessionist face is shown by these appeals for calm. This gives the lie to what he says about wanting the Olympics to go ahead so that everyone can be happy.”

Police were out in strength today on the streets of Lhasa and other towns to protect the Tibetan people from unauthorised displays of harmony after riots which caused minor damage to more than 300 premises, and left up to ten minor regions in flames.
