Chinese authorities have shot dead a Tibetan man in Achok after he fought back when they came to detain him.In the scuffle, he injured two police and he was shot and died at the spot.The man, identified only as Tabuk, around 30 years old, was killed on April 5 by local Chinese police in Achok township in Labrang county.His death provoked a protest in his home village, Sekok, in Achok township, where Tibetans had planned to march to county offices in protest against the shooting.At that time some well respected lamas intervened and advised they withdraw the plan to protest. They negotiated with the government authorities, who agreed to pay 200,000 yuan in compensation to Tabuk’s family.

In January, Tibetans ransacked the police station in Achok township after security forces in nearby Nanba township in Labrang shot and killed a man accused of stealing materials from a controversial construction project.
