Overturned Cars in front of the Jokhang Temple“Protests which started on Monday 10 are still raging in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. Today, events seem to have taken a turn for the worse, as demonstrated in this photo taken by a tourist and retrieved by France 24. This is one of the only photos to have made it through the Chinese censors. Beijing has effectively established a blackout on all information about the event. There are even fewer images available than when violence broke out at protests in Burma in September last year. Until today, the only shots published of the demonstrations in Lhasa are those from two Belgian tourists travelling in Tibet.”

The recent protests in Tibet are really nerve wrecking, but more than that it shows the strength and courage of Tibetans inside Tibet sending a warning signal to those living in free countries. “Lets Kill some and die some” is what i think is the call of the hour.
