Spain's National Court has launched an investigation into alleged crimes against humanity committed in Tibet, indicting seven Chinese political and military leaders.
Judge Santiago Pedraz accepted a complaint lodged by several rights groups, including the Tibet Support Committee. The groups accuse China of a "generalized and systematic attack" against the Tibetan population since March 10. According to the complaint, repression by the Beijing authorities has led to the deaths of 203 people and the disappearances of nearly 6,000, while 1,000 people were seriously injured. The Spanish judiciary deems itself competent to deal with human rights crimes, which fall under universal jurisdiction.
