China dismisses as absurd Spanish arrest warrants over Tibet MADRID (Reuters) - Former Chinese president Jiang Zemin and ex prime minister Li Peng could face arrest when travelling abroad over allegations they committed genocide in Tibet, a Spanish court ruled on Tuesday, in a case Beijing has dismissed as absurd. Zhu Weiqun, chairman of the ethnic and religious affairs committee of China's top advisory body to parliament, said the case was absurd, in comments published by Chinese state media on Tuesday before the ruling. "If some country's court takes on this matter, it will bring itself enormous embarrassment," Zhu said. Go ahead if you dare. More than 120 Tibetans have set themselves alight in protest against Chinese rule since 2009, mainly in heavily ethnic Tibetan areas of Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai provinces rather than in what China terms the Tibet Autonomous Region. Most of those who set themselves on fire have died. (Reporting by Sarah Morris and Teresa Larraz Mora. Additional reporting by Michael Martina in Beijing.
