LHASA -- People whose names were included in a list of riot victims given by the Dalai clique are still alive, according to an investigation by Lhasa police.

The Dalai clique's "government-in-exile" on March 25 released the "names and details of 40 identified people" died in the recent riots. However, the Lhasa police bureau found the five persons with detailed residences were still alive or did not exist at all. The other 35 people, whom the clique just roughly mentioned their place of residence or birth as "Lhasa, Tibet" or "Aba, Sichuan Province", were impossible to be located, the police said.

The Dalai clique announced the death of a 31-year-old Lobsang Tsepel in Sera Monastery. However, the police investigation found the monk, 36, was still in the monastery.

The investigation said there were 12 people named Ngodup in Tibet University, and all of them were at work, while the Dalai clique said a 28-year-old was killed.

A Lobsang Doma in Garu Nunnery was 39 and alive, not 23 and dead as said by the Dalai clique.

There was not a person named Rigzin Choenyi in the Shugseb Nunnery, while the nunnery has two people whose names included the Rigzin part but were both alive.

There was not a person named Ngawang Thekchen in Taklung Drak Monastery, according to the investigation.
