Beijing (Reuters) – El principal responsable de propaganda del Tíbet prometió "sellar y suprimir" Internet in effort to disarm separatist groups in Himalayan region, China's cabinet said Wednesday.
Dong Yunhu, the head of the propaganda department of Tibet, He made the comments during a meeting on Monday, said the information office of the State Council, as China seeks to end unrest arising from a series of violent attacks it has blamed on separatists in the western region of Xinjiang.
"Debemos presionar desde arriba, find and confiscate materials on the ground and seal and suppress the Internet – la sagrada trinidad de la supervisión y el control del sistema", Dong said.. "Para impedir que la propaganda separatista tibetana se infiltre y destruya todos los canales de comunicación".
Tibet has also seen growing unrest in recent years. More of 120 Tibetans have immolated themselves since 2009 in protest against the Beijing government, many of them demanding the return of their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
Pekín dice que los inmolados son terroristas y ha llamado al Dalai Lama un "lobo con piel de cordero" that seeks to separate the country into two.
The Dalai Lama, who has been exiled in India since 1959 after a failed uprising against the Chinese government of Tibet, He says he simply wants autonomy..
China maintains strict control of the media. The practice of censorship is extensive, and Internet users cannot access information on some topics without special software to bypass restrictions.
The Communist Party renewed an anti-Internet speech last year, en el que amenaza con acciones legales a aquellas personas cuyos rumores en páginas de 'microblogging' be shared more than 500 times or seen for more than 5.000 personas.
