Dharamsala, November 2 - A Beijing based Tibetan writer and blogger has said she got a threatening phone call from someone claiming to be from the Lhasa City Public Security Bureau. Woser, who is in the Tibetan capital, left a message on her blog on Sunday informing her readers about the call.



The caller said she was wanted by the Lhasa City Public Security Bureau, according to her blog post. When she asked why was she wanted, she was told she should know what she has done. She replied she has done nothing illegal and that if they wanted to come to see her they must follow the correct procedures. The anonymous caller replied that he would come for her soon. She said no one came for her though.
It is not known if the caller was actually from the Lhasa Public Security Bureau.
She also added that she could not access her twitter account after the call. She has requested readers to post her message on twitter.
Woeser has through her blog and books expressed support to the middle way approach proposed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and adopted as a policy by the Tibetan government through democratic processes. With several contacts inside Tibet, she also gives updates of protests and arrests of Tibetans in Tibet through her blog.
She and her husband were put under house arrest. She was recently honored with a courage in journalism award by the International Women's Media Foundation.
