Tibetans stage anti-China protest

The protesters, demanding independence for Tibet, were rounded up from a site 15km away from the BRICS summit venue. “A total of 43 Tibetans were arrested in the town where they were protesting. They will be produced before a local court later in the day,” Margao Police Inspector C L Patil told PTI. 

The protest was held under the banner of Tibet Youth Congress. The stir began just before Xi arrived at INS Hansa base on Saturday. “We want India to help Tibet get freedom. We want our country to be free. We are against the illegal occupation of Tibet by China,” TYC leader Tenzing Jimmy told reporters at the protest site.
