China arrests 59 in Tibet
China has arrested 59 people in the province of Tibet for fabricating rumours and trying to stir up ethnic hatred and incite violence. The semi-official China News Service reported that the 59 were acting under the influence of exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. Police also swept through markets in the provincial capital, Lhasa, looking for people selling illegally downloaded "reactionary" songs. Tensions in Tibet came to a head in March this year when anti-Chinese protests erupted. Tibet's government-in-exile said more than 200 people were killed in the violence. Beijing claimed far fewer died during the protests, blaming rioters for most of the deaths.
