On 1 August 2007 ; at the 80th Founding Anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army organised by the Lithang County government during a horse-racing festival ; Ronggye A’drak walked up to the stage where the officials and other dignitaries were seated ; took the microphone and shouted slogans calling for the Dalai Lama’s return to Tibet ; the release of Gedun Choekyi Nyima (the 11th Panchen Lama identified by the Dalai Lama) ; and Tibetan independence. He also called on local Tibetans to stop fighting among themselves over land ; water and harvesting of the prized Yartsa Gunbu (caterpillar fungus). He then climbed down from the stage and went straight to Naglu Tenzin ; a monk who was actively involved in the “patriotic education” campaign and denounced on his face his double standard in dealing with the religious affairs of the monastery. He again went back to the stage and continued shouting slogans until the police took him away.
