ICT does not have a comprehensive list of the names of people who died in the suppression following the protests due to China’s information blackout on the plateau. ICT has received numerous reports of bodies of Tibetans who were killed being taken away from families, or from the scene of the death, in order to hide the evidence. • Tashi Tsering, from Bha in Xining in Qinghai was a businessman in Lhasa, who died in the Lhasa protests. 27
