The Chinese authorities responsible for censoring media have once again decided to block Youtube, the popular video sharing website.

This time however it is attributed to the simple reason of the site having video’s of soldiers beating monks and other Tibetans.

The footage is assumed to be posted by a Tibetan exile group and shows a graphic video of hundreds of troops swarming through a Tibetan monastery while some stop to beat a man with batons.

Another scene shows men and monks beaten, choked and kicked while they are apparently tied and unconscious.

Youtube was previously blocked by China during the Tibetan uprising, which China dealt with in a manner that would probably be unknown to the world
