The Tibetan serfs were something more than superstitious victims, blind to their own oppression. As we have seen, some ran away; others openly resisted, sometimes suffering dire consequences. In feudal Tibet, torture and mutilation — including eye gouging, the pulling out of tongues, hamstringing, and amputation

That sounds a lot like what Amnesty International is saying that China is doing to the Uighurs today:

    It doesn't, actually. Have you read the report yourself? I recommend reading what Uyghur people actually have to say, as well as researching the validity/invalidity of the allegations. There's absolutely no evidence of anything even close to approaching the kind of torture the Tibetan serfs and slaves dealt with.
