| | Tibetans still revere Dalai Lama |
 | | Tibetan officials and monks in Shigatse, closely watched by their Chinese superiors, maintain that there is no hankering for the return of a man castigated as the figurehead for an evil, feudal theocracy that enslaved its people. | | | China has been seeking for decades to consign Tibet's spiritual leader to irrelevance. | | | "We only have regard for all patriotic Tibetans who belong to one country and love one country as one family," said Raidi, the most senior Tibetan woman in the Shigatse government. |

| | Shigatse is the second-largest city in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR), at China's western edge. | | | KATHMANDU—A Chinese court in the Tibetan city of Shigatse has jailed more than 20 Tibetans in the last decade for ‘reactionary’ offenses, including the possession of photos of the exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, court officials said. | | | One of Jigme Gyatso’s relatives, identified as Lungtok, and a monk, Aku Tennam from Chomdo, were traveling with him, and each received a four-year jail term at the same time. |

| | Five Tibetans in Gyantse and at least one in Namling - both in the Shigatse area - were imprisoned for distributing prayers or leaflets about the Panchen Lama dispute, and nine monks from Tashilhunpo, the Panchen Lama's monastery in Shigatse, were given prison sentences of up to 30 months for protesting against the Chinese decision. | | | The UN has asked that a delegation be allowed to visit the seven-year old boy, whom Beijing says is being held to prevent him from being kidnapped by Tibetan nationalists. | | | It follows unusually strong press statements calling on cadres to diminish Tibetan religious belief because it is full of "deceitfulness, backwardness and poisoning". |
