Dalai Lama appeals to China to stop "brute force"


NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The Dalai Lama appealed to the Chinese leadership on Friday to stop using "brute force" against Tibetan protesters.

"These protests are a manifestation of the deep-rooted resentment of the Tibetan people under the present governance," he said in a statement.

"I therefore appeal to the Chinese leadership to stop using force and address the long-simmering resentment of the Tibetan people through dialogue with the Tibetan people."
