Party members and public servants working in the Tibet autonomous region were given an ultimatum on July 14 to call back their children within two months from overseas schools and monasteries run by the "Dalai clique", the International Herald Leader (IHL), owned by the Xinhua News Agency, said yesterday.

Under a regulation drawn up by the regional Party and government disciplinary inspection commissions, which was released last week, those who fail to do so will be expelled from the Party and removed from their posts, the IHL report said.

The regulation applies to all current and retired Party members and government employees in the region, the newspaper said.
