Chinese security forces appear to be in the midst of the harshest crackdown on Tibetan protesters since 2008. Forces fired tear gas at Tibetan protesters in Sichuan province, according to an activist group, a day after forces fired on a crowd of demonstrators. At least one, and possibly as any as six people, died in Monday’s clash. China’s state news agency said one protester was killed and five police officers were injured in yesterday’s clash, which it described as a crowd of people, including monks, smashing stores along the town’s main street.
