BEIJING — A group of 29 Chinese dissidents is urging Beijing to hold direct talks with the Dalai Lama and allow an independent investigation of the wave of protests that has rocked China’s Tibetan regions.
The dissidents, led by writers Wang Lixiong and Liu Xiaobo, circulated a letter on the weekend with 12 suggestions on how to resolve the Tibetan crisis, which has erupted in violence and sparked a heavy police crackdown over the past two weeks.
Mr. Wang and his wife, the well-known Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser, have been held under house arrest since the Tibetan protests began on March 10, according to a report on the weekend by Radio Free Asia.
