Video captures abuse of Tibetan student by Chinese principal

A disturbing video has emerged showing a teacher slapping, pushing down and pulling the ear of a Tibetan student in front of other students gathered on what appears to be a sports field. The video, which contains no sound, was contained in a report released by the Tibet Action Institute, an advocacy group based in North America, on Dec. 16. The incident was filmed on or before Nov. 18, according to sources of the rights group.

The institute identifies the teacher as Dang Qingfu, the school principal at a boarding school for Tibetan students called Tsokhyil Township Ethnic Boarding Primary School in Tsolho Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, in China’s Qinghai province. Dang is also the local Communist Party secretary, the institute said.
