Rights groups say two dead following Tibetan protests

Two people have died, including one who committed suicide in protest while in jail, and many are in custody after police opened fire on a demonstration in a Tibetan region of China last week, rights groups said. The protest erupted over the detention of a respected village leader in the Ganzi prefecture of Sichuan province, rights groups say, a flashpoint for Tibetan protests against Chinese rule. The U.S.-based International Campaign for Tibet, citing several Tibetan sources in exile, said late on Monday that of the 10 injured in the demonstrations, two have since died. "This alarming news indicates that the authorities in this area are apparently acting with complete and dangerous impunity," said Matteo Mecacci, president of the International Campaign for Tibet. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
