FIRST SPARK?

n this new video taken by Chinese security forces on March 10 or 11 and obtained by the BBC, we see Buddhist monks staging a peaceful sit-down protest in a Lhasa street, when something happens to set off a conflict with the security forces surrounding them. This is the earliest known documentation of Chinese forces in open conflict with Tibetans during the current uprising. The widespread rioting by civilians began four days later.
