Tibetans in Lhasa are under severe restrictions, with complete denial of travelling rights, even as the city is already overwhelmed, eight-to-one, by Chinese immigrants, said BBC correspondent Sarah Cruddas in her ‘New Horizon’ show on Sep 5. The presentation was based on her visit to Tibet’s ancient capital to ascertain the social conditions and the ground realities there. She has spoken of having been shocked and saddened by what she saw there. “There is a lot of political intervention in the day to day life of a Tibetan, making it hard to move around freely, let alone, outside the country.” She has spoken of having witnessed firsthand that the city was indeed under Chinese occupation rule. “Wherever you go, you are greeted by heavily armed Chinese military personnel, a grim reminder of Tibet’s occupation by China.” Her Tibetan guide has spoken to her about her wish to travel abroad and the Chinese government’s denial of passport to most Tibetans, including herself. She has added that China views Tibetans with suspicion and there were numerous checkpoints and surveillance cameras everywhere.
