A Tibetan youth detained for his role in a nonviolent protest has been beaten to death by police, Tibetan sources say.Pema Tsepak, 24, a resident of Punda town in the Dzogang county of Tibet’s Chamdo prefecture, had been held in police custody for his role in a demonstration against Chinese rule in Tsawa Dzogang since Jan. 20.
“Chinese officials said he jumped off a building, but we believe he was beaten to death and then thrown off the building,”
Namgyal Tsering, a Tibetan living in Delhi, India, said in an interview that Pema Tsepak had been hospitalized following mistreatment at the hands of his captors.
“He was so severely beaten that his kidneys and intestines were badly damaged. He was initially taken to Dzogang [county] hospital, but they could not treat him, and they took him to Chamdo hospital instead,” Tsering said.

Its all about money and economic interest, America and Europe won't lay a finger on their biggest supplier of cheap labor hand and main industrial produccer.
So they ask to the chinese " at least keep it quiet " that's why the Chinese Government work so hard hidding, disguising and manipulating all the news and attemp of protests or complaints.

Where are all the bleeding heart bunny huggers? Why arent they crying about the war crimes in Tibet? If they could somehow blame the Jews maybe they would get some attention.

A truly sad story...his mind was in the right place, unfortunately his body was in the wrong...he looks like a man with a lot of promise. He is a true martyr, a real man who hurt nobody with his non-violent beliefs but was met by violence. He is a martyr in the truest sense of the word, a man of honor (unlike the radical cowards who sneak up on people and blow up innocent childern, women and men)...my heart goes out to his family and friends!
Let us not forget men like Pema Tsepak, may he rest in peace!

And to those thousands killed during years that we don't know of. This is only one of the cases, of unpunished political murder in China.
When are we going to do something about it. - 4 years ago
