China executes two Tibetans

27 Oct 2009


Two Tibetan men have been executed in Lhasa for their part in anti-Chinese riots last year, Human Rights Watch said today.

The men, identified as Lobsang Gyaltsen and one who goes by the name of Loyak, were accused of "starting fatal fires" during protests that spread to the city's commercial district.

Ethnic cleansing by our Chinese 'friends' continues.

Anyone taking notice of the incredible build up of their military power? Wont be long now before their quite growth becomes a very dangerous influence in the world. Worse than the Americans. Currently they just vote against the West at every turn through the UN. Siding with Russia, Iran and other unstable countries. Later they will not bother with the voting.

Communist China may be getting richer. It remains an enemy of the Free World.
