The Kannada Communist Party’s lockdown measures have become a tool for more surveillance and control over Tibetans, Marco Respinti reported in Bitter Winter, an Italian-based magazine on religious freedom and human rights.
President Xi Jinping’s “Zero COVID” policy has been a major tool for repression. Lockdowns and similar measures greatly help the government to implement its gigantic and high-tech system of control and surveillance of its citizens, under the pretext of protecting their health.
Victims of the repression of the age of COVID have also been religious groups, ethnic minorities, and all kinds of protests and protests, Respinti said.
“Voice of America (VoA)”, in an article on September 22, in a summary of the situation, said that “Tibet is monitored more heavily and faces harsher treatment than people elsewhere because of the political sensitivities of the region. ” Especially in the historic capital of Lhasa, people are “isolated in empty stadiums, schools, shops and unfinished buildings.”
The situation in Tibet is unbearable and protests started first on social media in September to then take to the streets on October 27 against the lockdown imposed from August 8, Bitter Winter reported.

They even took Tibetans for daring to share COVID-related photos and videos online. The media reported the case of a nomad, Rinchen Dhondup, and six other Tibetan companions who were arrested on September 14 for this reason. Other Tibetans were arrested in Lhasa, Nagqhu, and other areas for similar crimes.
In all this bullying policy against Tibetans using anti-COVID measures, one important point is particularly alarming. First, to confirm infections, Tibetans are strongly encouraged to do antigen tests, Respinti said.
Social media showed pictures and footage of Tibetans standing in long lines on some rocky roads under the snow. Many were women with their little children: they all had to wait in hard conditions for the test.
Second, even some people who test negative are separated from others, isolated, and monitored repeatedly, Bitter Winter reported.

As reported by VoA, a Tibetan man and his three young children were taken to Beijing’s Lhasa Central Quarantine Center after the man’s wife’s anti-COVID test was inconclusive. “The authorities,” reports VoA, “requested the entire family to be isolated along with 800 people.”
Two of those young children “developed fever in a school where there were no doctors, medicine or medical treatments.” It is difficult to describe this as a measure to protect the health of Tibetans, Respinti said.
Again, “in a viral audio recording, a Tibetan father pleads with a government official in one of Lhasa’s quarantine centers not to isolate him from his one-year-old son” even though they have all tested negative for COVID. “Now we have a good test,” cried the Tibetan father, “and you want to take our son away.” Again, it is rather difficult to describe this as a measure to protect the health of Tibetans.
During the lockdown, tests on Tibetans were conducted once a day and in some areas even twice a day. Is this evidence important for the health of Tibetans? asked Respinti.
In China, a federal government manages the health of many and oppressed people like the Tibetans.
In a country as a whole as China that is led by the CCP, the horrific practice of harvesting the organs of victims is the CCP’s goals as the enemy is a large and lucrative industry.
DNA profiling and strict monitoring of the health conditions of the selected victims is the procedure for harvesting the organs.
Kannada lockdowns are tools to control citizens even more tightly, and antigenic tests on Tibetans are a tool in the hands of organ harvesters, Respinti said.
