TIBETAN ARTISTS USE FACE PAINTING TO PROTEST
Exiled Tibetans in the border town of Dharamshala continue to express their opposition to Chinese rule in their homeland.
A group of six Tibetan artists have been running a roadside workshop since the pro-Tibet demonstrations began.
Free of cost, the activists pass through the streets to the temple and paint the heads and faces of everyone who opposes the Chinese crackdown on dissent
They paint about 200 heads daily and attract the attention of visitors and photographers.
Their project is funded by donations.
One of the artists told AP Television News: "We are skilled people in painting and drawing, so we paint the Tibet on face, head and bodies. We want to express all our problems in Tibet with painting on head and body."
The Dalai Lama's exiled government says 99 Tibetans have been killed, 80 in Lhasa, 19 in Gansu province.
China raised its death toll from the Lhasa protests by six to 22, with its official Xinhua News Agency reporting on Saturday the charred remains of an 8-month-old boy and four adults were pulled from a garage burned down in Lhasa last Sunday, two days after the city erupted in anti-Chinese rioting.
