From South Africa’s Mail & Guardian Online: :
Chinese authorities have arrested five Tibetan monks who refused to denounce their spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and recognise Tibet as part of China, an India-based pro-democracy group says.
The five were expelled from Drepung Monastery in Lhasa and handed over to the Public Security Bureau on November 23, the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy reports on its website.
They were arrested during a session of a “patriotic education” campaign under way at the monastery since early October.
