Around 26 nuns have been expelled from a nunnery for not agreeing to denigrate His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The nuns have recently started studying at the 500 year old Chamda nunnery in Driru County in Kham Province’s Nagchu area. 140 nuns are registered, the non-registered nuns who also stay and study there did not manage to hide when Chinese officials visited, and were harassed to denigrate His Holiness.
