Central Tibetan Administration Launches Investigation Over Dalai Lama Threat

The Central Tibetan Administration's Security Department is investigating a social media threat against the Dalai Lama. The incident was discussed in the Tibetan Parliament, with MPs expressing concern and condemning the act. Authorities assure there is no security threat, attributing the issue to possible foreign influences.

The Central Tibetan Administration's Security Department is investigating a recent social media threat against the Dalai Lama. The threat was reportedly issued by a person of alleged Tibetan origin in a video message. Discussed during a session of the Tibetan Parliament in exile in Dharamshala, the matter has been handed over to the administration's Security Department for a thorough investigation.

Dorjee Tseten, a Tibetan Parliamentarian in exile, confirmed, "This issue was discussed in the recent Tibetan Parliament session. As a member of parliament, I have condemned this criminal act. We have directed the Security Department to conduct a thorough investigation, ensuring the culprit is held accountable according to the law." Tseten noted that the suspect is believed to be based either in Europe or Australia, and a comprehensive investigation will reveal the motive behind the threat. Despite the seriousness of the threat, she reassured the community that there is currently no security threat to the Dalai Lama.

Lhagyari Namgyal Dolkar, another MP in exile, expressed disappointment but confidence in the security measures provided by the Indian government for the Dalai Lama. She noted, "China uses various measures to create unrest within the Tibetan community, but I trust the security that India's government has provided. The Tibetan community's love for His Holiness is profound, and I am confident he will continue to spread his message of love, peace, and compassion for a long time."
