[Warning: graphic photos below]
Photos of Tibetans who were supposedly shot in the Southwest area of China by Chinese security forces were posted on Peacehall.com yesterday under the user name Jianke. If the photos are authentic, this will be the first documentation the media has obtained of the now week-long protest of Tibetans resisting Chinese communist regime's rule.
These photos, said to be of Tibetan protesters, show a man seemed dead with bullet wounds near his heart.
However, the original photo of a murdered Tibetan was deleted from the Peacehall site soon after its release, for unknown reasons.
Also BBC News released two photos on March 18, with a caption reading, "Tibetan activists say this picture was taken after Chinese troops shot indiscriminately at protesters at a monastery near Aba, in Sichuan province on 16 March." One photo clearly shows a monk with a bullet hole in his neck that has already died.
The two photos publicized by BBC News can be found at this BBC link:
