A Chinese policeman shot and killed the head of a Tibetan Buddhist monastery after he and other monks demanded that police pay for medical treatment they sought after allegedly being beaten in custody, a U.S.-based broadcaster reported Saturday. Several other people were hurt in the Sept. 14 incident in Darlag County, in the western province of Qinghai, which abuts Tibet, Radio Free Asia said, citing unidentified witnesses. Phone calls to the police station and local office of the official Buddhist Association weren't answered Saturday. A woman who answered the phone at the police department of the prefecture that includes Darlag County said she hadn't heard about the case.
