Independence protesters burned shops and cars in the Tibetan capital Lhasa on Friday and Chinese police were reported to have shot dead at least two people, in the fiercest unrest in the region for two decades.
China accused followers of the Dalai Lama of “masterminding” the uprising, which shatters its carefully-cultivated image of national harmony in the buildup to the Beijing Olympic Games.
A spokesman for the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader called the allegation “absolutely baseless”. The Dalai Lama appealed to China to stop using force and begin dialogue. Similar protests in the past have been crushed with gunfire and mass arrests.
