Western tourists emerging from Tibet yesterday described their shock and fear as they watched a “howling” mob of Tibetans stoning and beating Chinese passers-by in two days of rioting in Lhasa last week.
They said that the crowd turned on anyone and anything that looked Chinese, knocking over motorcyclists, hitting them with metal rods and setting fire to their motorcycles.
Their testimony illustrated the ferocity of the riots, which have undermined not only China's claims to have brought peace and prosperity to Tibet but also the Dalai Lama's longstanding creed of non-violent resistance.
“It's hard to pick a side in what happened,” said John Kenwood, a 19-year-old backpacker from Canada who flew into Kathmandu, the Nepalese capital, yesterday after spending ten days in Lhasa.
“I agree that the Tibetans have their own culture, but I can't agree with what people did. After a while, it was not about Tibetan freedom any more.”
He said that he was walking along Beijing East Road in the Tibetan quarter in Lhasa when he saw four Chinese military trucks pull up at the intersection with an alley leading to the Ramoche temple.
Mr. Kenwood said that he saw someone throw a large stone at one of the trucks, smashing its windscreen, and then about 30-40 paramilitary police armed with riot shields and batons jumping out of another truck.
They blocked off the entrance to the alleyway, but were soon surrounded by a large crowd of Tibetans who began pelting them with stones, he said. He also said that he saw three boxes of stones but it was not clear who had provided them.
After a few minutes two or three of the younger Tibetans rushed at the Chinese police and they fled down the alleyway towards the Ramoche temple, he said. The crowd followed but soon turned back and began attacking Chinese shops and passers-by on Beijing East Road.
He said that he saw at least five Chinese people being attacked by the crowd, including a motorcyclist in his 20s who he thought was beaten to death. “They got him in the head with a large piece of sidewalk,” he said. “He was down on the ground and he was not moving.”
Mr. Kenwood added that he spent the weekend confined to the Yak Hotel on Beijing East Road, from where he heard gunfire and teargas canisters and saw armoured personnel carriers moving through the streets.
As he left Lhasa yesterday most schools, shops and other businesses had reopened and Tibetans and Chinese were moving around the city, he said. He added that there were very few young Tibetans on the streets after the midnight deadline on Monday for rioters to surrender.
“The Tibetans weren't smiling any more,” he said. “There were soldiers everywhere. I saw some older Tibetan ladies but there were fewer young guys wandering around.”
Claude Balsiger, a 25-year-old backpacker from Switzerland who arrived in Lhasa on March 8 and flew to Kathmandu yesterday gave a similar account of the violence. He described seeing the mob beating an old Chinese man on a bicycle. “They were howling like wolves,” he said. “That's the point when it went insane. They started attacking anything and anyone that looked Chinese.”
He also described seeing a Canadian tourist step in to rescue a young Chinese man being attacked by the crowd. “They were kicking him in the ribs and he was bleeding from the face,” he said. “But then a white man walked up ... helped him up from the ground. There was a crowd of Tibetans holding stones. He held the Chinese man close, waved his hand at the crowd and they let him lead the man to safety.”

Falsche Bilder, deutsche Comedy und ein wilder Hase

Nepal und Tibet kann man eigentlich nicht verwechseln. Dennoch ist genau das in den letzten Tagen offenbar zigfach geschehen – in unseren Zeitungen und in den Nachrichtensendungen des Fernsehens, wo Szenen und Bilder von Demonstrationen in Nepal, aber auch in Indien benutzt wurden, um damit Berichte über die Unruhen in Tibet zu bebildern … …
Ein Nepal für ein Tibet vormachen (Autor: Stefan Niggemeier--Medienjournalist der „Frankfurten Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung“) http://www.stefan-niggemeier.de/ ... in-tibet-vormachen/
Oben: Die Demonstranten haben die Fahrzeuge mit Stein angegriffen. CNN hat das original Bild beabsichtigt abgeschitten, um den Lesern vorzumachen und die gegen China aufzuwiegeln.
Oben: Die chinesische Polizei hat die Protester überhaupt nicht grausam behandelt, Sie haben sich gerade mit Schild verteidigt
Oben: Tatsächlich zeigt die Aufnahme Sicherheitskräfte in Nepal, dass nepalesische Sicherheitskräfte mit Knüppeln gegen Demonstranten vorgegangen sind, NICHT die chinesische Polizei!
Bravo! Es passt wie die Faust aufs Auge!
Oben: Das abgebildete Ereignis passierte in Nepal, NICHT in Tibet!
Nepal ist ein souveräner Staat neben China.
Tibet ist die autonome Provinz von China und Lhasa ist die Provinzhauptstadt.
RTL hat erklärt und sich dafür entschuldigt, mit falschen Fotos gegen China zu machen

Auf Internet-Seiten und in Zeitungen wird vielen westlichen Medien vorgeworfen, mit falschen Fotos Meinung gegen China zu machen. Auch RTLaktuell.de ist hiervon betroffen.
In der Tat hat RTLaktuell.de im Rahmen seiner umfangreichen Berichterstattung über den Tibet-Konflikt in einem Fall ein Bild in einem falschen Kontext verwendet.
Tatsächlich zeigt die Aufnahme Sicherheitskräfte in Nepal, einem Nachbarland der chinesischen Provinz Tibet. Das Bild entstand am 17. März in der Hauptstadt Kathmandu. Dort sind nepalesische Sicherheitskräfte mit Knüppeln gegen Demonstranten vorgegangen, die gegen die Politik Chinas in Tibet auf die Straße gegangen waren. Wir haben versehentlich den Eindruck erweckt, bei der Szene handele es sich um die Unruhen in Tibet und chinesische Sicherheitskräfte. Diesen Fehler bedauern wir und stellen gleichzeitig fest: RTLaktuell.de berichtet unabhängig. |
