Since September, a ‘Patriotic Education’ campaign has forced Tibetan monks and nuns to register with the Chinese Government. 26 nuns in the Palden Kharkyodling Nunnery in Driru refused to register with the Democratic Management Committee (DCM) and renounce the Dalai Lama, and were subsequently expelled from their nunnery. The ‘Patriotic Education’ campaign entails mandatory political trainings for nuns and forces them to denounce and criticize the Dalai Lama as ‘splittist’, a term often used to describe dissenters in China.

Below is an article written by The Tibet Post;

At-least 26 Buddhist nuns have been expelled from a Tibetan nunnery in eastern Tibet for their refusal to comply with new crackdowns, after the Chinese government increased restrictions on religious practice. Source indicates that recent visits by work team officials who have conducted the "patriotic education" campaigns at the nunnery found 26 nuns who are not registered with the Democratic Management Committee (DMC).

"The authorities have expelled these nuns from Palden Kharkyodling Nunnery in Driru county, Kham region of eastern Tibet, after a massive "Patriotic Education" launched since September [2014] this year," Ngawang Tharpa told the Tibet Post International on Monday.
