Tibet still closed to foreign press despite “unprecedented” post-quake openness in Sichuan

Press release
30 May 2008
Reporters Without Borders welcomes the policy of transparency currently being applied to the foreign press in the areas hit by 12 May’s terrible earthquake and calls on the Chinese authorities to apply the same policy to the Tibetan regions, where the security forces continue to prevent travel by foreign journalists.
"The government is allowing the foreign media a remarkable and unprecedented level of freedom in Sichuan," Reporters Without Borders said. "It should be extended to the Tibetan regions which the international press has not been able to visit freely since the Lhasa riots on 14 March. The government is clearly trying to prevent the foreign media from confirming the few reports emerging about arrests of Tibetans and reeducation campaigns being carried out since then." The press freedom organisation has spoken recently to properly accredited foreign journalists who have been turned back when they tried to enter Tibetan areas. "I took one of the roads that goes from Chengdu towards the Tibetan plateau but police at a checkpoint told me to turn round," said a European reporter who did not want to be named.
