DHARAMSALA, India (AFP) - The prime minister of Tibet's government-in-exile accused Chinese authorities on Thursday of blanket repression in the Himalayan region as he launched a new campaign for autonomy in his homeland.

"There is total repression and total discrimination" in Tibet, Lobsang Sangay told reporters at his government's headquarters in northern India.

"All this repression is making Tibetans more resentful of the Chinese government's policies and towards the Chinese government and various forms of protests are taking place."
