Over the past two weeks, Tibet has experienced its worst violence in 20 years… The Chinese crackdown on Tibetan protesters has left hundreds wounded, dead and detained. |
Sympathetic protests in support of Tibet have spread through China, Nepal, India and beyond. Events continue to develop in the shadow of the upcoming Olympics. |
