LHASA: Returning from Peking after a period of "education" of from 3-10 years, 4000 to 5000 Tibetan youths are now rebelling against the Chinese, according to refugee sources.

These youths, after their return from Peking, have been posted throughout Tibet as teachers, interpreters and leaders in various youth organisations and groups. They were expected to form a nucleus of Chinese agents throughout Tibet.

Lately, however, Chinese authorities have found that these Tibetan youths were not only neglecting the duties assigned to them but were actively engaged in anti-Chinese activities. Chinese authorities termed them "deviationists" and ordered them to submit their life history commencing from the age of eight. At the same time, meetings were held throughout Tibet to "purge bad elements."
