The Lhasa police bureau says the death toll released by the Dalai clique in last month's riots in Lhasa and other ethnic Tibetan areas is fabricated and intended to conceal the violence in the riots. On March 25th, the Dalai clique released the names and details of 40 people who died in the riots.

The Lhasa police bureau found five people on the list with detailed residences were still alive, or did not exist at all.

China's Ministry of Public Security says that it has gathered sufficient evidence to show the March 14 riots in Lhasa were not an isolated incident but were part of the so-called Tibetan People's Uprising Movement plotted by the Dalai clique.

The other 35 people, whom the clique failed to give detailed residence, were impossible to be located. The Dalai clique's death roll, however, did not include the 18 civilians and one police officer in Lhasa who were killed by mobs in the riot on March 14.

The Dalai clique announced the death of a 31-year-old Lobsang Tsepel in Sera Monastery. However, the police investigation found the monk is 36 and is still in the temple.

The investigation said there were altogether 12 people named Ngodup in Tibet University, and all of them are still at work. But the Dalai clique said a 28-year-old was killed.

A Lobsang Doma in Garu Nunnery was 39 and alive, not 23 and dead as reported by the Dalai clique.

There was not a person named Rigzin Choenyi in the Shugseb Nunnery of Lhasa. While the nunnery has two people whose names include Rigzin, but both are alive.

There was not a person named Ngawang Thekchen in Taklung Drak Monastery, according to the investigation.

The Lhasa police bureau says the death tolls were contradictory and fabricated, aiming at spreading fallacies.

China's Ministry of Public Security says that it has gathered sufficient evidence to show the March 14 riots in Lhasa were not an isolated incident but were part of the so-called Tibetan People's Uprising Movement plotted by the Dalai clique.
