A Tibetan human rights group condemned death sentences passed by a Chinese court on two ethnic Tibetans found guilty of bomb attacks in the south west of China.
The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, based in India, said the convicted men had been falsely accused and asked the United Nations to intervene.
The men were found guilty, on December 2, of three separate attacks, one of which killed a bystander. Chinese media said the men were also found guilty of illegally possessing guns and of promoting Tibetan separatism.
A statement by the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said it was "gravely concerned" for the fate of the two men.
"This tightening of repression comes at a time when the Chinese Government is hell bent on branding political activities with acts of terrorism following the attacks on the United States," it added.
China has long accused Tibetan pro-independence activists of a campaign of violence against Chinese targets.
