Foreign diplomats are in Tibet on a fact-finding visit approved by China, following criticism of Beijing's crackdown on Tibetan protests.

The US welcomed the move, but said diplomats and observers should be allowed to see areas surrounding Lhasa.

The visit follows a short trip to the city by a group of foreign journalists.

    Reuters today reports from Tibet's capital, where further unrest has been triggered by attempted police security checks. Yesterday the force had sent a mobile text message to residents from police urging them to "please obey the law and please follow the rules, don't create rumours, don't believe rumours, don't spread rumours... Severely battle any creation or any spreading of rumours that would upset or frighten people or cause social disorder or illegal criminal behaviour that could damage social stability". The message, and warnings of further security checks, caused panic in Beijing city centre. The fresh tensions come as the capital prepares to receive the Olympic flame tomorrow, for the start of a weeks-long domestic and international relay that the government hoped would symbolise national unity ahead of Games in August.

  • One consistent argument made against Tibet is it's history. Unfortunately virtually every country can be beaten over the head with aspects of its history.

    Today, it is about what Tibet has come to symbolize and also what Tibetan have accomplished as a working society in Exile.

    Finally, folks will argue why care about this and not that?

    This topic is Tibet. People do what they can, some focus and some try to work for it all... the point is to work for something that is worthwhile.
