Chinese officials detain monks for rare protest and close monastery.

Please click below to demand the release and reinstatement of monks detained and expelled during the recent crackdown at Drepung monastery in Tibet. Following the expulsion of five monks, rare protests broke out against China’s "patriotic education" campaign, which requires Tibetans to denounce the Dalai Lama and pledge allegiance to China.  An undetermined number of monks were beaten and arrested and the monastery was closed. Despite China's claims that "patriotic education" in Tibet has been stopped, recent reports indicate it has actually intensified.
