BEIJING — A London-based activist group says security forceshave fired on Tibetan protesters in southwest China, killing one and injuring others.
The Free Tibet group said up to several thousand Tibetans in a county in Ganzi prefecture of Sichuan province marched Monday to government offices where security forces opened fire.
It says a 49-year-old Tibetan man named Yonten was shot dead and up to 30 others have been shot and wounded.
The claims could not be independently verified.
A woman who answered the phone at the duty office of the Ganzi public security bureau said she was "not clear" about the situation and hung up.
Ganzi is a rugged, deeply Buddhist region filled with monasteries and nunneries and has been at the center of dissent for years.
