2 Tibetans executed in China over riots last year 
 
...In Tibet, according to New York-based Human Rights Watch,
authorities have made thousands of arbitrary arrests, and more
than 100 trials have gone through the judicial system over the
unrest.
 
[Ethics, China government style: JK] ...The court spokesman, who
was not named, told Xinhua that only the two defendants'
executions can appease the public's anger.
 
...More than 950 people were detained and 76 were sentenced
following last year's riots, according to state media, but the
government has never given a complete accounting, and details of
punishments continue to trickle out.
