     In an announcement on May 2 for police recruitment in Dabpa County People’s Court in Kardze Prefecture, it said that “those who have received or are receiving subsidies from illegal overseas fund organizations” are disqualified in addition to the aforementioned clauses in the case of Lithang.
     In Dec 2019, the announcement made in Lhoka had a reference to Tibetans that hindered employment if the individual “or family members have illegally entered or exited the country.” This announcement unlike others made in Lithang and Dabpa had a section on “political review” of recruits and a reference to “Interim Provisions on the Assessment and Political Review of the Recruitment of People’s Police by Public Security Organs” issued by the Chinese Ministry of Public Security.
