Dalai Lama denies he said Chinese shot 140 Tibetan

"We would like to clarify that His Holiness did not mention any number of casualties," it said in a statement issued after Le Monde published an interview earlier Thursday.

"In response to a question from the journalist about recent news stating that Chinese troops had fired on a demonstration, His Holiness clearly stated that we had no specific information on the number of casualties.

"In this particular interview His Holiness said: 'We just heard that, but no possibility to cross-check. So I don't know.'" said the statement.
