Countless Crimes of "Free Tibet Fighters"

Disclosed records from CIA shows, altogether 49 trained rebels in eight batches were sequentially para dropped down to the core insurgence area around Lhasa, Chamdo and Litang, etc., to collect intelligence, guide the U.S. aerial reconnaissance and organize rebellious militants.

With the guidance of these trained agents, the U.S. Air Force completed over 30 airdropping task with materials weighing up to 250 tons for the hidden Tibetan rebels, including nearly 10,000 M1 muskets, Sten guns, compatible 57mm recoilless guns and anti-aircraft machine guns as well as monetary fund. The rebellious bandits were so avid for the money that they even had fierce fires at each other to scramble for the airdrops. 
As admitted by some of the trained bandits, after the special trainings in Colorado, the rebels were directly dropped to eleven areas in the Kham region. With ceaseless support of arms and ammos, they continued to fight the Chinese army until late in 1963.

Wangdu Gyatso who was airdropped with the second batch later became Commander of the "Sishuiliugang religion guards" guerrilla, and was only shot dead by the Nepali army in 1974 near the China-Nepal border. 

Backed up with aids from the U.S. and the upper-level reactionary Tibetans, the gang of trained rebels which fled to Tibetan region started their more wanton recruitments and acted more aggressively, with a maximum group of over 4,000 people.

Moreover, they schemed to presumptuously provoke insurgence actions by attacking governmental offices and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, destroying public traffics and cruelly slaying patriots. Under the disguise of "nation and religion", the militant rebels inclusive of the trained agents imposed incalculable harms and did numerous crimes to local Tibetans.

Lhoka's Khesum Shika, where only 59 households inhabited, was occupied and looted by the "religion guards" for as long as ten months. Women near Tsethang were ruthlessly raped and local people's wealth or livestock were robbed by the rebellious gang. People who dared to go slightly against the bandits were killed indifferently. Even the rebels themselves would ignite some factional fights inside for advantages.

These kinds of cases were also found in records of the temporal regional administration led by the 14th Dalai Lama. For instances, more than 70 charges were reported against the rebels merely in August, 1958.

However, the "religious guardians" have won support from the Dalai Lama's clique. In July, 1957, they gave the Dalai Lama, who was the former vice chairman of the National People's Congress (NPC), a golden throne and also presented hadas and other gifts to around 500 people on site, which has greatly incited the rebellion. His third brother Losang Sandan even publicly asked Qimei, the head of Gyamda, to announce the news of rebellion, saying:"It is the order of the Dalai Lama."

It was just under the umbrella of the Dalai, the reactionary clique of the upper class, who wished to retain serfdom in Tibet, officially staged the armed rebellion on March 10, 1959.
