Sorry for the short diary...just wanted to spread the news.
Protests in Tibet have turned violent, with two official reported deaths thus far as police has fired on crowds. Protests have been ongoing, lead by monks against Chinese rule, perhaps the largest such protest in decades.
The US and EU have urged the Chinese govt to show restraint. With the Olympics coming up, this is exactly the kind of bad PR China wants to avoid. Those who struggle for the freedom of Tibet are hoping to use the Olympics to bring awareness to their plight.
