Beijing: At least eight people have been killed in unrest at a monastery in southwestern China, a rights group said.
Skirmishes with police on Friday also left at least two people injured, including an official who was attacked in a riot.
The International Campaign for Tibet said that police fired into the crowd after some monks at the Tongkor monastery were detained following a police search.
Over the past weeks, China has seen clashes between police and pro-Tibetan protesters against what they say is unfair Chinese policy on Tibetans.
