The Chinese government loosened restrictions that kept Tibetan monks in two provinces from openly revering the Dalai Lama, the exiled Buddhist spiritual leader, Radio Free Asia reported.
Authorities in Sichuan province announced people can display pictures of the Dalai Lama and ordered officials not to criticize him, the U.S.-funded RFA reported, citing a resident in Sichuan’s Ganzi prefecture it didn’t identify. In the past, monks had to keep pictures of the Dalai Lama hidden.
