Three months later, the protests are continuing despite armed Chinese armies using brutal force to put down the uprisings against communist Chinese occupation of Tibet demanding Independence and return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet. Till today, anti-Chinese protests have taken place in more than a hundred Tibetan areas. 203 Tibetans killed, more than 5714 arrested, and above 1000 injured since March 10 brutal crackdowns on the Tibetan uprising by the communist Chinese government.
