Calling out the Astroturf

Number killed *MUCH* higher than reported – PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT

Posted by govofchinawatch on March 18, 2008

As reported by a Tibetan Professor:

My wife & I have been calling into Ngawa every day this week for the latest news. Things are bad & are not being reported. There were 20 protesters executed at gunpoint in public yesterday in Ngawa & probably about 30 more (including a good friend of mine) who were shot in random fire & who are wounded but can’t go to the hospital because they don’t want the officials to know who they are. There are riots in the streets & cars are being burned & turned upside-down in revolt. Its also happening in Labrang. We have not heard anything from Ganze or other places in Kham as of yet. Of course Lhasa remains the worst with probably more than 100 people killed. That’s pretty much what we know at the moment, but I’m sure there is more to the story… phones & the internet are interrupted due to regular strategic & prolonged power outings.

This is very important information. I don’t know how to attract the eyes of major news services because I’m sure they get a flood of tips everyday. All I can ask is that you tell your friends about the massive gap between what is the truth and what is being reported. To be clear, this is not the fault of the American News Networks. It is because the Government of China is systematically blocking any information from getting out, and all we have are informal reports slipping through the cracks from normal people.

If any news service is reading this, I will *GLADLY* put them in touch with the professor that reported this. The name has been withheld for the time being for obvious reasons – he/she travels to Tibet quite often.

    oh, jesus! i saw what on your youtube saying that “china says that 13 people have been killed”, but now the numebr is up to around 30, i dont remember clearly.
    but do you know who were killed?
    they were chinese han races, not those chinese tibetans.
    by the way, dalai lama claimed 140 people killed, but shows no evidence till now. look up the news and find how yourself being dogmatic.
    no one blames on your care about humanity, but you should apologize on your innocent.

    For those you do not know, that china’s blocking some of the websites is not because they host the video of the protest, but that is an on-going media policy, nothing to do with the protest.

    For those you do not know, that though the West did not block any channel of the news, the medias of the West did hide most of the mainstream thoughts of the Chinese people.

    Facts we need.

    For those you do not know, that how CNN, BBC, etc. distorted the facts, you can search the youtube.
