Stabbed to death

February 25, 2014;

Tashi Tsering, 28, has stabbed himself to death in order to avoid arrest by Chinese authorities. The police approached him in Chamdo, Markham County on February 20 to arrest him for his alleged involvement in the 2008 anti-China protests, and he stabbed himself in front of them. The authorities issued arrest warrants against Tsering in 2008 on charges of “vandalism and causing social instability” following protests against the Chinese government in the region. He evaded arrest and had been on the run since then.
