Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

More Death In China

by @ 7:49 am on April 5, 2008.

The Chinese are still killing Tibetans who refuse to bend to their rule:

BEIJING, April 4 — Hundreds of Tibetan monks and laypeople clashed with Chinese police Thursday night in a small mountain town in western China after government officials attempted to force monks to denounce their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, and arrested two monks who were found with his picture, according to reports from Tibetan activist groups.

Nearly 800 people marched on government offices in Tonkhor, in Sichuan province’s Garze county, but were stopped by police who fired into the crowd, killing at least eight people, the reports said. The official New China News Agency called the incident a “riot” and said “police were forced to fire warning shots to put down the violence.” It did not report any deaths but said one official was injured in the confrontation.

And that’s just what we know about.
