Khenpo Tsanor (堪布查诺), the former chief abbot of a monastery based in Golog Tibetan Prefecture, Qinghai Province, was forced to step down in mid-May 2007. His forced resignation came after he refused to sign government documents condemning the Dalai Lama. An anonymous local official said local authorities were in the process of stepping up their patriotic re-education campaign, aiming to make the monastery a "model" monastery comprising only of monks loyal to China.
