Tibetan Youth Killed in China

ANCHOR:
Tibetans-in-exile are mourning the death of one of their own in mainland China. They gathered in the city of Dharamshala to hold a candlelight vigil to remember the youth.

STORY:
This departed youth was allegedly tortured by Chinese police officials in Dzogang County of Chinese occupied Tibet.

Students for a Free Tibet say three Tibetans were detained by Chinese communist security forces as they carried posters and raised slogans calling for a free Tibet. One of them was a young man named Pema Tsepak.

Pema was later admitted to a hospital and was declared dead on January 23 after succumbing to his injuries sustained from beatings.

[Tenzin Cheodon, Students for a Free Tibet]:
"On the 20th three young Tibetans protested in ... of Tibet asking for His Holiness (Dalai Lama) to return back to Tibet, asking for the independent Tibet and calling all the Tibetans to not celebrate Losar (Tibetan New Year) this year. All the three were arrested on 20th itself but they were brutally beaten up by the police in the custody and one of them died on the 23rd of this month."

A candlelight vigil was held on Tuesday the 27th to express their grief over the death of a Pema who laid down his life to free Tibet.

[B. Tsering, Tibetan Women Association]:
"We have decided to organize a candlelight vigil to express our grief and concern over the death of a youth in Chhamdo. He died due to injury inflicted on him by the Chinese police and he nearly expressed his concern and his wish. He did a very non-violent protest but he was beaten to death and that's why we have gathered here to mourn over his death.

Tibetans living in exile say Chinese communist abuses have increased since the Tibetan uprising in Lhasa.

Thats true many peoples don't know about Tibetans and their calling for Rights side by side in the region. I wish there's no neglected or ignorance by force or any way. Mass media's kept far away from the region, reflections about Human Rights there is very weak as I guess because of people knowledge,too about nature, multi-culture, and demographic structure in the area.local government system must increase the efforts toward overcome international peace and rights movements there cooperatively.

@Bodgyalo319 china is a country of different cultures and dialects and they are all very different, but they are just united under one government to show unity. pride of regionalism is practically part of chinese culture.  for example, people of canton would claim that they are cantonese.
