Riot Breaks out in Tibetan-Inhabitated Garze
2008-04-04 21:22:48 Xinhua
An official was attacked and seriously injured in a riot in the
Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Garze in the southwestern Sichuan
Province, local authorities said on Friday.
The incident took place at about 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, when rioters
attacked the seat of the Donggu town****p government of Garze County
under the prefecture.
"Local officials exercised restraint during the riot and repeatedly
told the rioters to abide by the law," an official with the
prefectural government said.
But he said "police were forced to fire warning shots to put down the
violence, since local officials and people were in great danger" and
the rioters would not be persuaded to stop.
The official, who is from the Standing Committee of the People's
Congress of Garze County, was on an inspection tour when the riot
broke out, he said.
Local authorities are investigating the incident.
Also in Garze, a group attacked police officers on duty with knives
and stones on March 24, killing one and leaving several others
injured.
The two incidents came after the March 14 unrest in Lhasa, capital of
Tibet Autonomous Region neighboring Sichuan, which the government said
have been organized, premeditated and masterminded by the Dalai
clique.
The unrest, involving beating, sma****ng, ransacking and arson, led to
the deaths of at least 18 innocent civilians and one police officer.
Following the Lhasa incident, the Aba County of the Aba Tibetan-Qiang
Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan also witnessed criminal violence on
March 16.
Innocent civilians and more than 200 government personnel and police
were injured during the riot, which also left two police stations, 24
shops and 81 vehicles torched.
