A Tibetan man is reported to have died after he was “brutally beaten” by police personnel in Sershul County in Eastern Tibet. According to sources, on June 16 a Tibetan man accused of stealing “Yartsa Gunbu” (a herbal remedy, Cordyceps Sinensis, known in English as “caterpillar fungus”) was beaten so severely by police authorities that he died the following day but local police blamed the man’s death as suicide.
