The repression of freedom of religion is outstanding in Tibet and throughout 1997 Chinese authorities enhanced their brutal crackdown of the Tibetan people’s right to practice and express their religious beliefs. ...

This campaign concentrated on targeting Tibetan religious institutions and initiates in an effort to stifle nationalistic feelings and support for the Dalai Lama, thereby breaking the backbone of the Tibetan national movement as well as striking at Tibet’s spiritual heart. ... Chinese work teams have been sent into monasteries and nunneries all over Tibet in order to conduct “ patriotic re-education” sessions and instruct monks on the “evils” of the Dalai Lama and Tibetan nationalism.

Within a few years, more than 6,000 Tibet’s monasteries and nunneries were destroyed and some have been closed down during the “patriotic re-education” campaign.
