Interesting table on deaths, injuries, and arrests

The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) has compiled a confirmed list of total number of deaths, injuries and arrests or detentions of Tibetans, reported during the peaceful protests in the three traditional provinces of Tibet, from 10 March 2008 - 25 April 2008.

Sources Chinadigitaltimes.net TCHRD China's State Media Lhasa Radio RFA/Callers from Tibet CTA source
Deaths 61 114 23 19 237 162
Injured 59 227 917 405 126 42
Arrested/detained 4051 2476 2226 1397 23,957 2946

The above figures are based on information and news reports collected from 6 different sources, namely, Chinadigitaltimes.net, Tibetan Center for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD), China's State Media and Lhasa Radio, Radio Free Asia (RFA)/Callers from Tibet and Department of Security (CTA).

Various facts and figures given by the different sources have been meticulously examined and tallied with each other. After having done this, we confirm that the actual figure for the number of dead is 203, the number of injured is more than 1,000 and the number of those still detained is more than 5,715. These are figures for Tibetans who died, are injured and still in detention throughout Tibet as today.
