The region has suffered from decades of ethnic violence, which has displaced hundreds of thousands of Tibetans from their ancestral homeland. Many people live in camps known as exile camps, or Bönru districts, on the Tibetan plateau.
The Tibetan leadership has repeatedly condemned the crackdown in Tawang. At a news conference last year, their spokesperson, the Dalai 점보카지노Lama, spoke of “the destruction of the Tibetan nation’s identity and the destruction of the existence of its people”.
