2008 PROTEST LOGS
10 March - 30 April 2008
This report is a summary of information gathered and received by Tibet Watch concerning protests in Tibet which occurred during March and April 2008. It is not a comprehensive record of all the protests that took place in Tibet, but only of those incidents which Tibet Watch has received reliable information about. Indeed, it is likely that there were many incidents of protest across Tibet which have remain unreported due to the tight security restrictions and communications lockdown imposed. It is for the same reason that it has since been extremely difficult to find out any further information about the documented events other than what is provided here. Although some of the information in this document relies on single sources, the news we have received has, where possible, been corroborated or checked against information received by other news gathering organizations.

This report is a summary of information collected by Tibet Watch in May and June 2008. It contains information on the protests that occurred in May and June as well as further information on specific protests that took place in March and April and their aftermath.

Please note, there have been various uncorroborated reports of releases since the March 10 protests, but due to the ongoing information lockdown in Tibet, it is not possible to confirm whether the arrestees listed in the appendices have yet been released.
