NEW DELHI—The Beijing regime has claimed that
Tibetans are plotting a mass suicide attack during the opening
ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics. On April 1, the Tibetan government-in-exile,
headquatered in Dharamasala, India, refuted the accusation, and
demanded China to provide evidence of the claim.
The Tibetan government pointed out that such statements are merely
a part of Beijing's propaganda. The government also reiterated
that Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, does not oppose
the Beijing Olympics.
The Tibetan government's spokesperson, Thubten Samphel, stated
during a telephone interview that, "Chinese authorities should
give evidence to support their allegations, instead of making
groundless accusations."

Thubten Samphel denied the suicide plot completely, emphasizing
that suicide is a major sin in Buhhdism.
"Our protests are all peaceful. In Buddhist teachings, there's
no such idea as suicide attacks," He said. "We believe
that life is the most sacred treasure of all." He added,
"These unfounded accusations will bring good to neither Chinese
nor Tibetans."
