Here are the Tibet-related headlines for today:
Reuters reporter Peter Jackson recalls covering His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 1959 escape to India for the venerable news agency. Jackson’s photos (including the one above) are reprinted too.
The Washington Post reports that “a young Tibetan monk was shot by Chinese police after he set himself on fire Friday, the third day of the Tibetan New Year, at a market in Sichuan province’s Aba prefecture.”
USA Today points us to the news that the Chinese government has responded to the U.S. State Department’s report on their egregious human rights record with a report on U.S. human rights violations.
