Hiatus? Well, not so much. Tibet Protest Links

Full coverage here.  Eyewitness accounts.  I happened to arrive in Lhasa just after the 1987 uprising -- that uprising wasn't pretty, and neither is this one.  China is spinning it that they're not sending in the "army" they're quelling the unrest using "police" as if that's some sort of step in the right direction.  Really, it's just about the same guys wearing a different color costume.  If that.

Lhasa has become even more Chinese since then:  they've brought in many more Chinese from China proper, leaving the Tibetans a minority in their own land.

Frans Plooij, Dutch tourist:

This morning I counted 40 trucks of soldiers and 36 tanks moving inside the city.

All the streets in Lhasa have lots of security on them. Many Chinese shops were burned down and set on fire.

We heard from our Tibetan guide that at least 20 people had been killed [and that] Chinese authorities have imposed martial law where the riots were.
