Tibetan Monks Storm Chinese Press Briefing

HeadlineMar 28, 2008

In Tibet, the Chinese government allowed in a group of foreign journalists Thursday, the first since unrest broke out earlier this month. In Lhasa, a group of monks stormed a Chinese government news briefing and accused China of lying about the situation on the ground.

Monk: “They just don’t believe us. They think we will come out and cause havoc — smash, destroy, rob, burn. We didn’t do anything like that; they’re falsely accusing us.”

All monasteries in Lhasa remain closed amidst a large deployment of Chinese forces.
