Gran movimiento de tropas hacia Tibet
China está enviando gran número de soldados a Tibet, luego de las violentas protestas de la semana pasada en contra del gobierno de ese país.
En estos pasados se han visto pasar convoyes militares hacia Tibet, pero éstos han aumentado de manera significativa en las últimas horas, informaron 
corresponsales de la BBC en la provincia de Sichuan, cerca Tibet. Un corresponsal de la BBC contó hoy más de 400 vehículos militares dirigiéndose hacia el paso montañoso que une a Sichuan con el Tibet. "Hemos contado alrededor de veinte camiones militares montados sobre plataformas en un tren. También cuatro vehículos todo terreno y una ambulancia en la que decía "Policía Armada Popular, fuerza de reacción rápida'", informó el periodista James Reynolds. Mas/More

Violence in Tibet spilled over into neighboring 
provinces Sunday where Tibetan protesters defied a Chinese government crackdown. The Dalai Lama warned Tibet faced "cultural genocide" and appealed to the world for help. Protests spread Protests against Chinese rule of Tibet were reported in neighboring Sichuan and Qinghai provinces and also in western Gansu province. All are home to sizable Tibetan populations. The demonstrations come after protests in the Tibetan capital Lhasa escalated into violence Friday, with Buddhist monks and others torching police cars and shops in the fiercest challenge to Beijing`s rule over the region in nearly two decades. "Whether intentionally or 
unintentionally, some kind of cultural genocide is taking place," said the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader. He was referring to China`s policy of encouraging the ethnic Han majority to migrate to Tibet, restrictions on Buddhist temples and re-education programs for monks. He told reporters in Dharmsala, the north Indian town where Tibet`s self-declared government-in-exile is based, that an international body should investigate the government`s crackdown on the Lhasa protests. Tibet was effectively independent for decades before Chinese communist troops entered in 1950. The latest unrest began March 10 on the anniversary of a 1959 uprising against Chinese rule of Tibet.
