(ANI): Tibetan Prime Minister in-exile Lobsang Sangay has
expressed concern over rising Chinese military repression against
Tibetans and urged the United Nations to send a fact-finding delegation
to China to investigate its hardliner policies.

He further condemned the Chinese military invasion into Tibetan areas and then gunning down those agitating against Chinese authoritarianism.
"We are very disturbed by the growing number of Chinese military personnel and many more trucks and trucks load of paramilitary forces with automatic machine guns moving towards Tibet. As it is military presence is very, very high in number and they have already started using the guns and shooting at people. We are very disturbed and we condemn the killings of innocent Tibetans who are simply asserting their freedom of speech," said Sangay.
