Tibetans in the Indian capital New Delhi staged a protest against the execution of a Tibetan separatist by China, witnesses said.
Around 250 women and students held the peaceful demonstration against what they called the "shocking and horrific" execution of 28- year-old Lobsang Dhondup on January 26.
Although there have been earlier cases of arrests of religious Tibetan leaders, this is the first time that the Chinese government has sentenced a Tibetan leader to death.
