Hundreds of Tibetans Detained Protesting Chinese Rule 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Hundreds of Tibetans have reportedly been detained opposing Chinese rule
in Tibet's capital of Lhasa. The protests broke out after two people set
themselves on fire in protest of China earlier this week. It was said to
be the first major act of protest against Chinese control in four years.
