The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) condemns the recent shooting of Tibetan refugees by the Chinese People’s Armed Police (PAP).
Thirty refugees were arrested after continuing to flee. Fourteen of these were children, the youngest of whom is five years old. Of the refugees who were not injured or arrested, some are missing, whilst 41 (27 minors below eighteen years) have reached Kathmandu, Nepal, where they are under the protection of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.
