Singer Banned

March 29, 2014;

Chinese authorities in Qinghai have reportedly enforced a ban on the sale and distribution of a Tibetan singer’s DVD for its alleged content of politically restricted lyrics. According to exile sources, DVDs of Gar Samdup Tsering’s music album entitled “Tsebar ki Marmey” (Life-long butter lamp) were confiscated or destroyed by authorities who raided music stores, and local television channels and nightclubs were ordered not to invite Samdup for performances or appearances.
