Tension in Tibet

"We urge China to respect the fundamental and universally recognised right of all of its citizens to peacefully express their political and religious views." -Condoleezza Rice

Tibetan monks staged the biggest anti-Chinese demonstration in 2 decades in March, marking the anniversary of a failed 1959 Tibetan uprising. Over the next week, Chinese paramilitary police arrested nearly 1,000 Tibetans; 80 more are dead. The Dalai Lama has called for an investigation into China's "cultural genocide" in Tibet, while warning that he will step down as leader of the Tibetans if the violence persists.
