BEIJING, March 30 (Xinhua) -- Xinhua was authorized to release a signed article Sunday to reveal how the Dalai Lama clique plotted and incited the Lhasa violence on March 14 which killed at least 18 civilians and one police officer.

The story by Yi Duo says it was untrue for the Dalai clique to claim that the riot was a "spontaneous peaceful protest" which the Dalai Lama has had nothing to do with. 　

AN INSIDER'S CONFESSION

An unnamed suspect in connection with the Lhasa violence has confessed to the police that the "security department" of the "Tibetan government-in-exile" asked him to hand around leaflets promoting the so-called "Tibetan people's uprising movement" to civilians and monks in Tibet, according to the article.

"The violence on March 14 was related to the instigation done by the 'security department' of the 'Tibetan government-in-exile'," the suspect said.

"For the sake of protecting myself, (the Dalai Lama clique) asked me not to participate in the demonstrations in person, just in charge of stirring people up," the suspect said.

"The beating, smashing, looting and burning were by no means peaceful demonstrations, and the deeds were inhuman," the suspect admitted. "If they (the Dalai Lama clique) wanted to follow the non-violence 'middle way', such violence should have never happened."

On the same day when violent mobs attacked innocent Lhasa civilians, a closed-door meeting was held by the Dalai Lama clique on how to enlarge the "achievements," the article said.

FOLLOW-UP PLOTS

The meeting finally decided to mobilize all monasteries in Tibet each with more than 100 lamas, especially those of the Yellow Sect in Tibetan Buddhism, and ask monks to take to the street and involve common Tibetans in the demonstrations. The meeting also plotted to launch continuous protests by various stages in Tibetan-inhabited areas.

Samdhong, "prime minister" of the "Tibetan government-in-exile," said at the meeting that they should seize the very rare chance of Beijing Olympics to make breakthroughs in that "Tibet cause", to pave the way for the Dalai Lama to "return" to Tibet and to achieve high autonomy in "Greater Tibet" and its goal of "abolishing" the existing management method on reincarnation of Tibetan living Buddhas.

The Dalai clique also entrusted the "ministry of finance" under the "government-in-exile" to "financially support the decisive battle against the Chinese government," the article said.

A day after the violence on March 14, the "Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC)", a hard line organization under the Dalai clique that openly preach violence, decided to "set up guerillas to infiltrate into Tibet and start armed struggles" at a meeting in Dharamsala, where the "Tibetan government-in-exile" was located, the article said.

They also drafted plans on recruitment, financing and purchasing weapons and planned to steal into Tibet through the China-Nepal border.

The "TYC" leaders said they are ready to "sacrifice another 100 Tibetans at least" to achieve their goal.

Besides the "TYC", other organizations under the Dalai Lama clique also sent people to Tibetan communities in India and Nepal, urging residents there to contact people in Tibet and other Tibetan-inhabited areas in China through telephone or e-mail and incite them, "in the name of Dalai Lama", to hold demonstrations following the Lhasa violence.

Cewang Rigzin, the "TYC" president, said at a meeting on March 20 that violence has "reached its goal" to "wake resistance force among people in Tibet and attract high-profile international attention to Tibet issue" but the struggle "will not stop and this incident is just the prelude of this year's fight."

INSTIGATION OF LHASA RIOT

The article detailed how the Dalai clique masterminded a so-called "Tibetan people's uprising movement" that led to the violence in Lhasa.

Five organizations under the "Tibetan government-in-exile", the "TYC", "Tibetan Women's Association (TWA)," "Students for a Free Tibet (SFT)," "National Democratic Party of Tibet (NDPT)" and "Gu-Chu-Sum Movement of Tibet (GCSMT)" announced the formal start of "Tibetan people's uprising movement" on Jan. 4 this year and founded a temporary preparation office in charge of coordination and financing, headed by Cewang Rigzin, according to the report.

They claimed that the movement is a "turning point on the history of Tibetan's struggle for freedom," the article said.

"They divided the movement into four stages," it said. The first was to recruit participants and promote the ideas of the movement. The second stage, or the action step, started on March 10, followed by the third one to organizing demonstrations across the world. The last one was to launch actions in the regions inhabited by Tibetan people inside China.
