Key places and events in Tibet unrest (BBC)


Protests by monks in Lhasa marking the 49th anniversary of a failed uprising against Chinese rule have turned into more than a week of riots and clashes with security forces.

Protests by ethnic Tibetans have been reported in at least 25 places in Tibet and neighbouring provinces in western China, although not all of them can be independently verified.

The following are the key places and events in the unrest.

Lhasa: The protests began on 10 March, and escalated on 14 March.

The Tibetan government in exile in India says 99 people died in clashes with security forces - including 80 in Lhasa.
