On 3 April, more than eight people including monks were shot dead and dozens left injured after fellow monks of Tongkor Monastery in Kardze County, staged a peaceful demonstration calling for the release of two monks arrested earlier on 2 April for objecting Chinese “Patriotic Education” campaign in the monastery.

On 11 April, the “TAR” authorities sent the “Legal information Education” “work team” as a part of the “patriotic education” campaign in Drepung Monastery, who were confronted by the monks of the monastery against visit of the “work team” to conduct the campaign and later detained by the authorities. There is no information on the condition and whereabouts of those detainees. However, according to the Chinese official mouthpiece, Xinhau, dated 11 April, reported that a patriotic education group has arrived at the monastery “to help maintain social stability, socialist legal institutions” and “restore religious order” but suppressed the protest and detention of monks in its report and cited “TAR” government as saying the officials involved in the “patriotic education” campaign throughout Tibet “have received the understanding and support of monks and religious followers”. Mr. Zhang Qingli, the “TAR” Communist Party chief visited the Drepung Monastery on 18 April 2008.

On the same day on 18 April 2008, the “TAR” Communist Party chief Zhang Qingli visited Sera Monastery giving assurance to the monks that “the Communist Party committee and government of Tibet would protect the legal rights and interests of patriotic and devouts monks and nuns”. The Xinhua reported that the Buddhist service have resumed after being suspended due to Lhasa ‘riot’ bu the official mouthpiece completely skipped the report of the detention of around four hundreds monks of the monastery in the early morning raid in Sera Monastery. There is no information on the condition and whereabout of those detained from the monastery.

On 12 April, a special meeting was convened among the representatives of the various monastic institutions under all eighteen counties of Kardze “Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture” (“TAP”) at Dartsedo and instructed to commence the “patriotic education” campaign immediately across all religious institutions in Kardze.

According to official media reports, the campaign was reinvigorated across Lhasa city, educational departments in Lhasa, in Lhoka and Chamdo Prefecture.

On 3 April, monks of Wara Monastery in Jomda County, Chamdo Prefecture “TAR” confronted and challenged the “work team” from carrying ‘patriotic education’ campaign by saying ‘even at the cost of our lives we will never defame and denounce our religious leader, the Dalai Lama”.

On 14 April 2008, the PAP forces ransacked the residences of monks of Tsang Monastery in Kawasumdo County(Ch: Thunde Xian), Tsolho “TAP” Qinghai Province, confiscated pictures of the Dalai Lama.

On 21 April, Dorjee Tsering, Lhasa City Mayor, has told that the “Patriotic education” campaign will be a standard litmus test for the party cadres.
