DHARAMSHALA, January 10: Chinese  authorities in the eastern Tibetan region of Malho are leading a massive  drive to confiscate satellite dishes used by Tibetans after banning  orders on “illegal satellite equipment” were issued last month. 
 
The  satellite equipments used by Tibetans to receive foreign radio and TV  programmes are the only source of information inside Tibet besides the  state sponsored propaganda news.  |
