The photo, showing tens of Chinese People's Armed Police (PAP) servicemen wearing old-style summer uniforms and holding monks' robes, was linked to the allegation by the Dalai clique that those PAP members had dressed as Tibetan monks and rioted on March 14 in Lhasa. Two servicemen pictured in the photo have been found in Tibet who disproved the allegation by telling journalists that the picture was taken in 2001 when they were prepared to act as figurants in a movie named The Torch.
