The body of an influential Tibetan Buddhist leader, said to have died while in custody in Vietnam, was secretly cremated in Ho Chi Minh City on Sunday, despite pleas by activists to allow his remains to be taken back to Tibet, two sources from the region and rights groups told Radio Free Asia.

The long tragedy of Cham history

“The process [‘Nam Tien’ or Vietnamese southward expansion] was well defined by Léopold Cadière in 1911: “As soon as they feel themselves able, they drive off the first inhabitants, whether in a peaceful manner, by taking over the land, clearing it and “planting the bamboo” – the hedges that to this day still surround Annamese gardens and villages – or by violence, then they fight with the Chams, destroying their temples and mutilating their statues.” In short, there was no room left for the Chams.”
