ABSTRACT

On October 13, 1967, The morning went normally enough, and after lunch he went to the regular afternoon meeting where political ideas and issues were discussed. Tashi Tsering had just sat down, when the class activist sitting next to him suddenly stood up. In a loud, clear voice he said, that he suggest the anti-revolutionary Tashi Tsering be isolated from the people and placed under supervision. Periodically, individuals were called out for interrogations. The interrogations were always one of two kinds the rough ones that involved physical beatings and intimidation, or the more gentle ones that just involved yelling and insults. And the evenings were the same as in the cow shed the same routine of study, self-examination, and verbal or physical abuse. While people stood at attention, members of the Red Guards would walk past and scream insults and slogans at people.
