China is cracking down on Lhasa, the capital. A number of Tibetans have been killed, estimates range between 30 and 100. Considerably more have been jailed. Foreign reporters are barred. Tibetans from the suburbs are blocked from entering the center. A curfew is in effect. Parts of the city are blocked off by the military. Rioting continues in Xiahe.
It's interesting that these demonstrations started on the anniversary of Tibet's 1959 revolt against Chinese rule.
