Following the turmoil in Tibet over the last week, the UK government has reportedly launched a 'fierce' attack on China's continuing "violation" of human rights.
According to Sky, the Foreign Office's human rights annual report states that there has been a "disappointing" lack of progress towards a peaceful settlement in China and that people are regularly "harassed" because of their religious beliefs.
With it going to explain: "We continue to make clear our view that the best way to improve the situation in Tibet is through meaningful dialogue between the Chinese authorities and the Dalai Lama and his representatives, without pre-conditions, to achieve a long-term peaceful solution."

Jhaber comments on the situation, reporting that:
"Pro-independence protests raged in Tibetan-populated areas of China with at least one policemen killed and several more wounded in a riot in Sichuan province. Tibet's exiled political leader Samdhong Rinpoche said 130 people had now been confirmed killed."
