Lhasa under siege

UNDER the gaze of troops armed with automatic rifles, bayonets and batons, residents of Lhasa’s old Tibetan quarter are now being allowed outdoors after many hours of cowering in their homes.

Security is particularly intense in the Tibetan quarter itself.

The road around the temple, normally packed with pilgrims spinning their prayer wheels and murmuring prayers, is now nearly empty.

Beyond the Tibetan quarter, it is now possible to survey the full extent of the damage caused by the rioting of Friday and Saturday. It extends well into areas of the city where ethnic Han Chinese form the majority.

The troop presence in Lhasa is similarly extensive.

Access to monasteries on the edge of Lhasa, where the unrest first began on Monday March 10th, remains blocked by police.

Some Han Chinese in the city remain nervous.

The authorities have set a deadline of midnight on Monday local time for rioters to hand themselves over (if they do so by then apparently they can expect more lenient treatment).

But the authorities are trying their best to give the outside world an impression of normality.

对文章的理解.

中国军队重兵进驻拉萨.

宗教自由受到破坏(喇嘛庙周围的路上,往常拥挤的朝圣者都不见了,路也被堵住)

这场冲突是藏汉冲突.

中国政府试图给世界一个拉萨一切正常的印象.
