China’s oppression in monasteries in Tibet at the time of the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday last month was so severe that a respected scholar monk in Tsolho, Amdo, committed suicide at the monastery on August 18.
Fifty-two year old Shersang Gyatso (ཤེར་བཟང་རྒྱ་མཚོ།) died at his monastery in Ba (Chinese: Tongde) county, following an intensive crackdown at his monastery involving raids, searches for Dalai Lama images and a ban on traditional religious ceremonies in the weeks before the exiled religious leader’s 90th birthday.
