Police Brutality

September 25, 2014;

There are reports that drunken Chinese police have detained and tortured Tibetan spectators at an international archery competition in China’s Qinghai province. Witnesses reported that the police demanded the Tibetans drink alcohol with them, and when they refused, threatened to close the festival early. They then took the Tibetans to the police station where they beat and tortured them. Tenzin Rinchen was badly hurt.
