Rights groups say two dead following Tibetan protests

BEIJING (Reuters) - Two people have died, including one who committed suicide in protest while in jail, and many are in custody after police opened fire on a demonstration in a Tibetan region of China last week, rights groups said.

The protest erupted over the detention of a respected village leader in the Ganzi prefecture of Sichuan province, rights groups say, a flashpoint for Tibetan protests against Chinese rule.
