Dharamsala : The Tibetan government-in-exile Tuesday said at least 203 people have been killed and over 1,000 injured in anti-China protests in Tibet between March 10 and April 25.
“We confirm the actual number of dead Tibetans at 203. Over 1,000 have been injured and 5,715 have been detained,” a spokesperson of the Tibetan government-in-exile here said.
“These figures are based on information collected from six different sources -Chinadigitaltimes.net, Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, China’s state media and Lhasa radio, Radio Free Asia and Department of Security of the Tibetan government-in-exile,” he added.
The Chinese have, however, placed the figure far lower.
Violence erupted in Lhasa and several other places inside Tibet after anti-China protests on Tibet’s 49th uprising day March 10. The incidents attracted international attention following the Chinese crackdown on Tibetans.
