Washington, D.C., November 2, 2010 -- 2010 Courage in Journalism Award winner Tsering Woeser has
posted an urgent post to her blog asking readers to spread news of her latest threat. She cannot get on
to her Twitter account.
Yesterday morning, Woeser, who is visiting her mother in Lhasa, received a call from the Lhasa City
Public Security Bureau “summoning” her to go to the bureau. “I said I would not go. I had no reason to
go …” she wrote in her blog,
Invisible Tibet. The caller told Weser, “You know what you have done.”
Weser replied that she had “not done anything illegal,” and told the caller that the Public Security
Bureau could come and see her but they “had to follow the correct procedures.”
The caller, responded, “Yes, we will come and we will follow the correct procedures.”
Weser remains at her mother’s house where she is being watched by the Public Security Bureau.
