BEIJING — Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama assailed China on Monday for “unimaginable and gross violations” of human rights in his homeland, as security forces broke up a rare protest by maroon-clad monks near the heart of Tibet’s capital.
They were demanding the release of fellow monks arrested in October after the Dalai Lama received a Congressional Gold Medal in Washington, Radio Free Asia reported.
The remarks came after several days of scathing attacks by Chinese officials, who charge that the Dalai Lama seeks to disrupt the Aug. 8-24 summer Olympics in Beijing.
