Exiles chanted anti-China slogans Monday at a protest in Dharamsala,
India, where news of the Tibetan uprising has spread.
DHARAMSALA, India ― As Tibet erupted in protests against Chinese rule,
this small, normally placid town in the foothills of the Himalayas
became a nerve center and soapbox for Tibetan exiles and a vital channel
through which news from Tibet seeped out into the world.
Tibetans at home telephoned Tibetans here with snippets of what they saw
and heard of the Chinese crackdown last week. Photographs of gory
killings, which Buddhist monks said they had received by e-mail from
across the border, were displayed in monasteries. Human rights workers
played a tape-recorded conversation with a caller who said he had
witnessed a massacre.
