Vivid images have emerged from Tibet of a violent police response to a protest by Tibetans in Serthar (Chinese: Seda), Sichuan (the Tibetan area of Kham), on January 24. The images, which show a Tibetan man being beaten and dragged along the ground by armed police, were taken on the day that police opened fire on Tibetan demonstrators, killing one Tibetan man. The man who died has been named by Tibetan sources as Dawa Dragpa, and a vigil was held for him in Serthar yesterday. Read more and view images
