Free Tenzin Delek Rinpoche from communists

Around sixty local Tibetans from Nyagchuka County Kardze “Tibet Autonomous Prefecture (“TAP”), has been arrested by local public security bureau while appealing for an immediate release of well known local spiritual figure Tulku Tenzin Delek Rinpoche.
According to confirmed information received by the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD). Earlier , a group of seven Tibetans which later swelled to around sixty Tibetans, mostly youth from Othog proceeded to Nyagchuka County government headquarter to appeal for an immediate release of Tulku Tenzin Delek, stating that their revered spiritual teacher was wrongly charged and sentenced by the sichuan higher people’s court in 2002.

It was on the night of 5 December 2009, petitioners who gathered at County government headquarter for the entire day were rounded up and taken to an unknown location.
Sources told TCHRD on the morning of 6 December 2009, motorbikes and clothes belonging to petitioners were left unattended with bloodstains. There were also bloodstains on ground as well. The petitioners are largely believed to be detained in a military compound near Nyagchuka County.Thereafter Tibetans from various parts of Nyagchuka County have been flocking to Nyagchuka County government headquarter to obtain the release of around sixty Tibetan detainees. However chinese security forces on the way stopped them from reaching the County Headquarter. Meanwhile a fairly large contingent of people’s armed police has been brought to place called Thang Karma (White Open Field) practicing martial acts and military drills to intimidate the local Tibetans.

Meanwhile, sources say that many elderly Tibetans and children has been going to the Chinese government Township office at Thang Karma (White Open Field) to appeal to the chinese government to release Tulku Tenzin Delek. Despite their petitions, chinese officials have been turning their deaf ears to their sincere and legitimate call. Nonetheless, the local Tibetans are still holding on to their hopes for an immediate release of their revered spiritual figure.
