FRANCE 24 reporter Cyril Payen has been subjected to "mafia"-style intimidation from Chinese diplomats angered by an under-cover report he filmed in Tibet.


Following the first broadcast of his
"Seven days in Tibet" report on May 30, personnel from the Chinese embassy in Paris visited FRANCE 24's offices to demand that it be taken off the channel's website.

The demand was flatly refused by FRANCE 24's Editor-in-Chief Marc Saikali, while a request by the embassy to interview Payen could not be fulfilled as the reporter had already left for Thailand, where he is based.

On his arrival, Payen was subjected to repeated calls on his mobile phone (the number had never been given to Chinese officials) demanding that he present himself at the Chinese embassy in Bangkok and explain his actions.

Payen told the diplomats he would be happy to meet them at a hotel, but was told they would only conduct an interview with him at their embassy.

A message left on Monday was openly threatening -- Payen was told to stop postponing the meeting and to attend the embassy by Tuesday or else
"take responsibility" for his refusal to comply.

"Everyone has advised me not to go to the Chinese embassy under any circumstances, that it would be dangerous for me," Payen said on Wednesday. "The French foreign ministry and FRANCE 24 are following this case closely, but it hasn't been an easy time for me. I'm not getting more than an hour's sleep a night."

                            Seven Days in Tibet 

For more than 60 years, the Tibetan people have tried to resist the Chinese steamroller.

But how much longer can they hold out in the face of repression, military occupation and deepening cultural assimilation?

Our reporter Cyril Payen spent several days undercover in Tibet. This is his exclusive report on a region that is turning into a shadow of its former self.
