Facts released in Beijing today tell about how the Dalai Lama clique plotted and incited the Lhasa violence on March 14 which has killed at least 18 civilians.

The facts also show that the Dalai Lama clique has launched a series of campaigns trying to tarnish the upcoming Olympic Games in Beijing, according to a signed article by "Yiduo", which was authorized to Xinhua for releasing.

A suspect in connection with the Lhasa violence has confessed that the "security department" of the "Tibetan government-in-exile" asked the suspect to hand around leaflets promoting the so-called "Tibetan people's uprising movement" to civilians and monks in Tibet, according to the article.

"The violence on March 14 was related to the instigation done by the 'security department' of the 'Tibetan government-in-exile'," the suspect was quoted as saying.

"For the sake of protecting myself, (the Dalai Lama clique) asked me not to participate in the demonstrations in person, just in charge of stirring people up," the suspect said.

"The beating, smashing, looting and burning were by no means peaceful demonstrations, and the deeds were inhuman," the suspect said. "If they (the Dalai Lama clique) wanted to follow the non-violence 'middle way', such violence should have never happened."

On the same day when violent mobs attacked innocent Lhasa civilians, a closed-door meeting was held by the Dalai Lama clique on how to enlarge the "achievements," the article said.

The meeting finally decided to motivate all monasteries in Tibet each with more than 100 lamas, especially those of the Yellow Sect in Tibetan Buddhism, and ask monks to go out on the street and try to involve common Tibetans in the demonstrations. The meeting also plotted to launch continuous protests by stages in various Tibetan-inhabited areas.

Samdhong, the "prime minister" of the "Tibetan government-in-exile," said at the meeting that they should seize the very rare chance to make breakthroughs in "Tibet cause", to ensure the Dalai Lama's "return" to Tibet, to achieve high autonomy in "Greater Tibet" and its goal of "abolishing" the existing management method on reincarnation of Tibetan living Buddhas.

The Dalai clique also entrusted the "ministry of finance" under the "government-in-exile" to "financially support the decisive battle against the Chinese government," the article said.

A day after the violence on March 14, the "Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC)", a hardline organization of the Dalai clique openly holding "Tibet independence", decided to "set up guerillas to infiltrate into Tibet and start armed struggles" at a meeting in Dharamsala, where the "Tibetan government-in-exile" was located, the article said.

They also drafted plans on recruitment, financing and purchasing weapons and planned to steal into Tibet through the China-Nepal border.

The "TYC" leaders said they are ready to sacrifice another 100 Tibetans at least to achieve their goal.

Besides the "TYC", other organizations under the Dalai Lama clique also sent people to Tibetan communities in India and Nepal, urging residents there to contact their folks and friends in Tibet and other Tibetan-inhabited areas in China through telephone or e-mail and incite them, "in the name of Dalai Lama", to hold demonstrations in response to violence in Lhasa.
