Demonstrators to protest in front of Chinese Embassy

Demonstrators are to gather on Sunday evening before the Chinese Embassy in Prague to protest a crackdown by the Chinese military and police in Tibet. Friday saw the eruption of riots in Lhasa after a week of mostly peaceful protests. The official Chinese news agency has reported at least 10 deaths in incidents but the Tibetan government in exile has said the number of those killed is far higher: at least 80 individuals. Sunday’s protest in Prague is being organised by the Green Party along with a number of non-governmental human rights organisations.
