Update on Death Toll from Tibet demonstrations

24th March 2008

While the most recent death toll from the demonstrations in Tibet is around 140, we are releasing the names and details of 40 identified people.

Since the start of the Demonstrations in Tibet on March 10, there has been a steady rise in the death toll. As the demonstrations continue to spread vastly to many areas in Tibet, the number of people who have died from the brutal military and police suppression during the peaceful demonstrations is astounding.

While we have confirmed information on the death toll from the demonstrations so far, it has been extremely difficult to get the details due to all the restrictions that have been imposed by Chinese authorities, especially since March 10th.

The most recent death toll from the demonstrations in Tibet is around 140 and we are releasing the names and details of 40 identified people. While we do have reliable information on other individuals killed during the demonstrations, we are gathering more comprehensive information before we release more names from the death toll list.

We have reliable sources confirming the death of numerous individuals killed during the recent demonstrations; however, we are still in the process of gathering more details (such as name and place of residence). For instance, while we can confirm that during the protest in Dabpa County (Karze "Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture," Sichuan province), an elderly person, a young girl and a boy were shot and killed by the Chinese military, further details are still being gathered.

Many of the dead bodies from the recent demonstrations are being turned into the People's Procuratorates instead of being returned to their respective families. This has also made it more difficult to gather details on the death toll.

I guess if you consider burning 10 women to death not to mention destroying hundreds of businesses a peaceful protest, then your points are well made.

Now, the demonstration I saw today down on Nanjing East Road in Shanghai, with banners and chants decrying the violence in Tibet and calling for a free Tibet didn't garner much in the way of bullets.

I guess there needs to be smoldering corpses and destroyed lives before protests rise to the level of "justified"?

If these were Chinese nationals, I'm impressed. If they were foreigners, I'm still impressed, but less so.
