Civil Disobediance

December 26, 2014;

Further unsubstantiated reports are emerging from Tibet about the follow up to Kalsang Yeshe’s self-immolation on December 23. Chinese officials stopped a party of nuns on their way to pray at Tawo Nyatso monastery where Kalsang Yeshe died, so they sat down on the road in peaceful protest. And there are reports of civil disobedience, with people blocking roads and praying publicly, which is strictly forbidden by the Chinese authorities.
