David SoardHarassment of Tibetan Monks
A Tibetan leader defends the choice of non-violence, and claims that Chinese soldiers dressed as monks in order to instigate violence. \"We are not terrorists\", he says, expressing the view that \"Chinese propaganda\" is behind attacks meant to justify accusations against the Tibetans. In Lhasa, the army is also harassing the Chinese.

TCHRD condemns in strongest terms over the arbitrary detention of Wara monks. The Centre calls upon the Chinese authorities to immediately and unconditionally release the detained monks and guarantee in all circumstances the physical and psychological integrity of detained monks. The Chinese authorities should put an end to all acts of harassment against the monks so that they are able to carry out their religious studies without hindrances.

Shaolin abbot Ng Mui fled to White Crane Temple where she lived in hiding from the Manchu warriors. In the village by the temple lived a man, Yim Yee, who sold bean curd. Ng Mui recognized this man, as he had trained at the Shaolin temple. Yim Yee now had a terrible problem. His beautiful daughter was being harassed by a powerful man who insisted that she marry him or he would close her father\'s business and cause problems for their family. Ng Mui suggested that Yim Yee\'s daughter should challenge the man to a fight with the agreement that if she defeated him she would not have to marry him. This was arranged, and Ng Mui took the young girl into the mountains and taught her the new kung fu style. When the girl completed her training she won the fight against the bully. Ng Mui called the new style \"Wing Chun Fist,\" named after her first student, Yim Wing Chun.
