BEIJING, March 14 (Reuters) - Shops were set on fire in violence in Tibet's capital of Lhasa on Friday, witnesses said, as the region was hit by a fresh wave of rare street protests....
Hundreds of people had again taken to Lhasa's streets in defiance of Chinese authorities and despite a heavy police presence and reports of a lockdown on monasteries, sources with knowledge of the region said.
"The police are everywhere," said one cafe owner reached by phone in Lhasa. "There are big problems."
