Storming of consulate condemned

10 separatists arrested, eight to face charges over attack on diplomatic compound in Sydney

The Chinese embassy in Australia publicly condemned Wednesday's intrusion into the compound of the Chinese consulate-general in Sydney by a group of Tibetan separatists.

"This is a very serious attack on diplomatic and consular institutions, which fully exposes the violent nature of the Tibetan separatists," an embassy spokesperson said on Thursday.
