拉萨仍在抓捕, 抓捕人数尚不知道。据新华社报道, 已有160人投案自首。

The arrest in Lhasa is still going on, but we are yet to know the number of people arrested so far. According to the Xinhua News report, there were already 160 people who voluntarily gave themselves up to the police

长达7-9天, 拉萨的哲蚌寺、色拉寺、甘丹寺仍被当局关闭, 在军警的围困之中, 由于被停止供水、关闭周边饭馆, 使得寺院僧众生活陷入极大困境。呼吁外界关注三大寺僧侣的危急情况。

It has been seven to nine days since Drepung, Sera and Ganden Monasteries have been closed by the authroities, and they are still surrounded by riot police. Due to the fact that water supply was cut off and the restaurants in the neighborhool were closed, the monks met great difficulty in their daily life. I appeal to the outside world to pay attention to the critical situation of the monks in the Three Great Monasteries in Lhasa

西藏电视台文艺频道和拉萨电视台用藏汉语播放拉萨市公安局发的1号、2号、3号通缉令, 有21名藏人被通缉, 其中有2个僧人, 1个女性, 都是从录像上截取后放大的照片。据说拉萨被逮捕的藏人已达上千, 有3个 藏人拒捕, 跳楼自杀。凡被捕藏人都被军警用铁棒、铁棍严酷殴打。围观者中的藏人都表示同情, 不忍目睹; 但许多汉人都为之欢呼, 连说“活该”。满街军人严查 藏人身份证或户口, 藏人基本闭门不出, 走在街上的基本是汉人。香港凤凰电视台的节目上吹嘘拉萨已经恢复正常生活, 但是采访的几位所谓“拉萨市民”全是汉 人, 仿佛拉萨已是汉人的城市。

The Art and Literature Channel of Tibet TV Station and Lhasa TV Station broadcasted No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 Order of Arrest in both Tibetan and Chinese. Over 20 Tibetans were issued the Order of arrest, among whom there are two monks and one woman. Their photos are enlarged from pictures the authorities obtained from the [security] videos. It is said that over 1,000 Tibetans have been arrested so far. There were three Tibetans resisted arrest, and they committed suicide by jumping off the buildings. All those Tibetans who have been arrested were cruelly beaten with iron club and steel rod by the armed police. Tibetan onlookers all expressed their sympathy, and could not bear to see them suffering; but many Han Chinese were cheering for such actions, repeatedly saying “Serve them right!” Soldiers on all the streets are strictly checking the I.D. card or household registration of Tibetans. Tibetans basically dare not to go outside, and most passengers on the streets are Han Chinese. In one of the programs of Hong Kong Phoenix TV Station it is boasted that residents in Lhasa has already restored their normal life, but a few so-called Lhasa residents they interviewed are all Han Chinese, and it seems that Lhasa is already a Han Chinese city.

拉萨人民检察院批准24个藏人被正式逮捕。不包括12个被通缉的藏人, 但12个被通缉的藏人中已有1个被抓捕, 不在24人之列。

The People’s Procuratorate of Lhasa sanctioned that 24 Tibetans have been formally arrested. The number does not include the 12 Tibetans who were issued the Order of Arrest, but among the 12 people, one person was already arrested. This person is not included in the list of the 24 Tibetans.

Lhasa appears to be calm, but all government organizations, enterprises, institutions and the various neighborhood committees are holding meetings, transmitting the various speeches made by the authorities. During the meeting all the cadres, staff and residents are require to “ expose, repudiate and denounce the evil doings of the Dalai clique, and firmly struggle against the separists.” Everybody has to make a speech and declare where he stands so that he will pass the “political test.” Tibetan officials of various levels of government organizations, the “united front figures” and the “religious luminaries” of the Political Consultative Conference and the Buddhist Association, one after another, appeared on TV fiercely to attack the Dalai lama so as to protect themselves and to seek for benefits for themselves.

拉萨依然密布军警, 依然在藏人聚居区设立关卡盘查藏人, 其他藏地同样如此。 据悉, 连日来, 在安多（甘肃省甘南藏族自治州州府）合作市, 从外地（陕西）调来的军队在巡逻和检查中对藏人态度恶劣, 经常蛮不讲理地随便殴打藏人。昨天, 合作驾驶学校的4个藏人学生在街上被军人拦阻, 强令蹲下, 因为动作稍慢被暴打。这些遭遇使当地藏人非常不满和气愤。

There are still military police all over Lhasa, and there are checkpoints in compact Tibetan inhabited communities to interrogate and examine Tibetanos. So is the situation in other Tibetans areas. It is learnt that in recent days at Tso (Ch. Hezuo) city in Amdo (the seat of Kanlho [Gannan] Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Gansu Province) the troops transferred from another region (Shan’xi Province) have been patrolling and inspecting the area. During their patrol and examination, the soldiers’ attitude toward Tibetan is bad, and they frequently beat Tibetans unreasonably and wantonly. Yesterday when four Tibetan students at Hezhuo Driving School were stopped by the soldiers on the street, they were forced to squat down. They were beaten cruelly because they moved a little bit slower. All these experiences made the local Tibetans very dissatisfied and angry

由于当局在各种媒体上展开加剧民族对立、煽动民族仇恨的宣传攻势, 中国民深受其影响。在青海省省府西宁市, 已有部分出租车拒载藏人。

Due to the authorities’ propaganda to exacerbate ethnic antagonism and to stir up the inter-ethnic animosity, the common Chinese people have been strongly influence it. In Xining City, the capital of Qinghai Province, some taxi drivers have started to refuse to take Tibetan passengers.

安多（四川省阿坝藏族自治）境内, 街上出现“开展感恩报国活动, 巩固党的执政基础”的标语, 含有指责藏人不知感恩的意思

On the streets of Amdo ( Nagwa Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province), there appeared slogans such as “ Launch the activity of showing gratitude and dedicating oneself to serving the country, and strengthen the party’s basis for governing.” This slogan implies to criticize Tibetans for not knowing to show their gratitude.

据新华网甘肃夏河3月23日电: 记者从甘肃甘南藏族自治州政府了解到, 在此次事件中, 甘南州105个县市直部门、27个乡镇及113个乡镇所属单位、22个村委会受到冲击”, 范围包括“该州的玛曲、夏河、碌曲、卓尼、合作等市县”, 证明藏人抗议事件的范围、规模, 远远超出在这之前的官方消息和外界的了解。

The telegraph from Xiahe County in Gansu on March 23 published on Xinhua Network reads as follow: the correspondent has learnt from the government of Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Gansu Province that during this incident 105 organizations which are directly subordinate to the county and city, 27 towns and 113 working unit under the towns as well as 22 village committees were seriously affected.” The scope [of the protest] include Machu (Ch. Maqu), Sangchu (Ch. Xiahe), Cone (Ch. Zhuoni), Tso (Ch. Hezzuo) and other counties and cities.” This shows that the scope and scale of Tibetan protests far exceeded the understanding of the official news and the outside world.
