The Associated Press reports that the Chinese government has executed two Uigher for attacks in Xinjiang that occurred ahead of the Beijing Olympics. “The executions in the Xinjiang region come a day after two Tibetans were sentenced to death for arson during riots in Lhasa last spring,” the press service notes.
The Christian Science Monitor observes that “China’s state-run media [has] largely ignored the first known death sentences for last year’s riots in Tibet.”
The Agence France-Presse reports on Harry Wu, the Chinese dissident “who spent nearly two decades toiling in labor camps as a political prisoner, recently opened an exhibition at his Washington museum on suffering in Chinese-ruled Tibet.”
The AFP also reports that “around 35 Tibetan exiles were arrested after they staged a peaceful demonstration carrying anti-China banners in Nepal’s capital.”
The Associated Press reflects on “cyber espionage” in the wake of China’s “ghost hacker” scandal that involved the Tibetan Government-in-Exile.
