Lhasa

It sounds like chaos in Lhasa, Tibet's capitol. The Chinese police have the three "pillar" monasteries sealed off as the monks inside stage hunger strikes in protest of the occupation. Two monks remain in critical condition after slashing their wrists in protest.

Here's an account from a foreigner in Lhasa on March 10, the first day of protest. Things have escalated since then and it's hard to get reliable reports.
