The Chinese authorities are forcing local monks to take responsibility for the destruction of the 99-foot-tall Buddha statue in Drago county in Kham Kardz in December last year. At the time the authorities ordered the destruction, now they are requiring the monks to sign affidavits claiming responsibility, reports Radio Free Asia. The statue and 45 prayer wheels were built and paid for by local Tibetans with official approval.
