Violence spilled over from Tibet into neighbouring provinces today as Tibetan protesters defied a Chinese government crackdown while the Dalai Lama warned that the area faced "cultural genocide" and appealed to the world for help.

Supporters of the Dalai Lama said 80 people were killed during the protests in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, with at least 72 others injured. It was the latest negative publicity for China ahead of the Beijing Olympics in August.

Today Buddhist monks clashed with armed police in Sichuan province after the monks staged a protest, said a witness in Aba county who refused to give his name. He said one policeman had been killed and three or four police vans had been set on fire.

Protests were reported in Sichuan, Qinghai and Gansu provinces. All have Tibetan populations.

  • God Bless Tibet, and show its people the path to freedom.

    Free Tibet

  • The "Free Tibet" thing is going to ridicules nonsense now!!! Tibet was free from slavery. The people screaming for free Tibet were used to be slave masters or are their descendants. All they want is to get back their powers. Shame on them and let them dream for ever.

  • Tibetans protest because they don't like being OPPRESSED by the evil communist party of china.

  • In a communist state everyone works for the government so they aren't necessarily free to do what they want and be creative. Try working for a government sometime.

    Free all one party states.

  • HumanRightsVideosT:

    fuck you. communsim rules! how does communsim create poverty? NO ONE LIVES UNDER POVERTY LINE IN A TRUE COMMUNIST STATE. by the way, the term is "socialism", not communism.

  • ok, first of all, where the fuck did i deny tiananmensquare massacre? i have NEVER denied it. also, 90% of tibetans dont even want independence.

    china may have unresolverd issues, but this is only because of our short existance. china has only lasted 60 years. how do u expect a nation to develop in that time? i mean, how long it take USA to end slavery? 100 yrs! wat about segregation? 200 years!

  • Tibet will be free. The people demand it. And how can you say the CCP is not evil. You deny that Tiannemen square ever happened but then I see you commenting on videos saying "Praise to Tiannemen square!"? You condradict yourself left and right.

  • please have a look at what happened after just one of the 2008 Tibet protests on this video

    but be warned it's a hard core human rights video which shows Tibetans being beaten on the ground (which is not easy to watch) and other pretty shocking stuff.
