Tibetan student 'killed in third Sichuan, China clash'


Chinese security forces have shot and killed a young Tibetan man in Sichuan province, Tibetan campaign groups say.

The death in Aba prefecture would be at least the third such killing this week.

Police and troops opened fire when a crowd gathered to protect another man being sought for distributing leaflets in Aba, the Free Tibet group said.

There has been no official comment from Chinese authorities. Officials have confirmed that two Tibetans were killed in earlier protests in Sichuan.

The PRC should probably just give it up, give Tibet its land back, and go home...
