This report was researched and written by Mickey Spiegel, consultant to the Asia division of Human Rights Watch. It was edited by Sidney Jones, executive director of the Asia division, and Cynthia Brown, program director. Production assistance was provided by Adam Bassine, associate for the Asia division, Patrick Minges, publications director, and Fitzroy Hepkins, mail manager.
We express our deep appreciation to all organizations and individuals who made the report possible. In particular, Human Rights Watch is grateful to The Gere Foundation for providing essential funding, and the Tibet Information Network which made its resources available. Two scholars, Elliot Sperling, Professor of Tibetan Studies at Indiana University, and Robbie Barnett, research scholar at Columbia University, provided invaluable assistance through their willingness to share their extraordinary knowledge of Tibet. We are grateful to all those in Dharamsala, among them officials, administrators, refugees, and human rights activists, who provided information and testimony during our stay and continue to do so.
