Chabch Medical College Protest against Chinese rule in Tibet

Amid a spate of self-immolation in Tibet, around thousand students from the Tibetan Medical School (Sorig Lobling) situated at Chabch, staged a peaceful demonstration to protest Chinese policy towards Tibet, on November 26th, 2012, around 6:00 a.m. (CST).  And the crow began chanting anti-government  slogans: "freedom in Tibet" and "equal right for ethnic minorities". After two hours of demonstration, Chinese security forces cracked down on the demonstrators, many were injured and at least 20 were hospitalized.

The provocation was said to be the authorities’ distribution to the students, all in their early teens, of a booklet which denounced Tibetans who had carried out self-immolation protests for their “acts of stupidity” and which described the Tibetan language as irrelevant, reported Radio Free Asia (Washington) No 26.
