Report says 2 Tibetans killed by security forces
Chinese security forces shot dead two Tibetan brothers who had been on the run since taking part in anti-government protests two weeks ago in southwest China, a U.S.-funded broadcaster reported Friday.
Radio Free Asia said the two, 40-year-old monk Yeshe Rigsal and his 38-year-old brother, Yeshe Samdrub, were killed Thursday in the high-altitude pasturelands used by nomadic herders where they had fled after the Jan. 23 protest in Luhuo county. Radio Free Asia cited sources in the area and in the Tibetan exile community in India. (AP)
