Photo Essay: Rebellion in Tibet
Page 1 of 7
Posted March 2008
China’s hopes for a quiet run-up to the Olympics were dashed this month when protests by Tibetan monks and residents turned violent. The clashes reveal a Tibet that is far less happy under Chinese rule than Beijing would have us believe.


March 14, 2008: Protesters led by Tibetan Buddhist monks shout slogans as they carry the Tibetan flag during a demonstration near the historic Labrang Monastery in Gansu province in northwestern China. The protests began March 10 when 500 monks from the Drepang Monastery marched into Lhasa, Tibet’s capital, to commemorate a failed 1959 uprising against communist rule.
