: (CNN) -- Protesters set fire to vehicles and shops in the Tibetan capital
: of Lhasa on Friday, as tear gas filled the streets and gunfire rang out,
: a witness told CNN.
: Roughly 1,000 people hurled rocks and concrete at security forces, demolishing
: military trucks and pushing back riot police, the witness said.
: Protesters appeared to be targeting shops and vehicles owned by Han Chinese
: , the predominant ethnic group in China.
: A main market in the capital was set on fire, and some Tibetans were hospitalized
: with serious injuries, according to Kate Saunders, a spokeswoman for the
: International Campaign for Tibet, which promotes human rights and democratic
: freedom in Tibet.
: Friday's violence appears to have started when police tried to stop a peaceful
: protest by monks at Ramoche Temple, Tashi Choephel of the Tibetan Center
: for Human Rights told CNN from Dharamsala, India.
: "The monks from the Ramoche Temple on the north side of Lhasa, they started
: a peaceful demonstration and they were blocked by the People's Armed Police
: ," Choephel said.
: A photo e-mailed to CNN from a source in Lhasa showed what appeared to be
: Chinese military vehicles containing security forces armed with riot shields
: at the Ramoche Temple.
: Saunders said violence broke out as bystanders joined the protest.
: "Apparently local people -- lay people -- got involved, and a police car
: was set on fire. This was followed by Tromsikhang Market being set on fire
: ," she said from London.
: Saunders said her organization had confirmed reports that some Tibetans had
: been hospitalized with serious injuries, though she didn't know the nature
: of the injuries or how many people were being treated.
: A Han girl who spoke to CNN from Lhasa said she had been beaten by a group
: of Tibetans.
: "I am now in hospital with a bandage on my head," she said. "The trains are
: closed and I am not sure if I can take a plane back, or if I can reach the
: airport. All is chaotic now."
: China continues to impose reporting restrictions on foreign media in Tibet
: and the neighboring province of Xinjiang. CNN sought permission to enter
: Tibet on Friday morning Beijing time. So far, this perrmission has not been
: granted.
: China's state-run Xinhua News Agency confirmed that shops had been set on
: fire and that owners of nearby businesses had shut their doors, according
: to The Associated Press.
: The violence was under way near Barkhor Square, home to the revered Jokhang
: Temple. Some ethnic Tibetan shopkeepers hung Tibetan scarves outside their
: stores in an attempt to spare them from the protesters' wrath.
: The unrest follows days of demonstrations in Tibet and neighboring India
: over Chinese rule in Tibet, an autonomous region of China that has long sought
: its independence.
: The protests come less than five months before China is to stage the Summer
: Olympic Games in Beijing.
: Don't Miss
: * iReport: Send images, photos
: On Thursday, two monks from the Drepung Monastery in Lhasa tried to kill
: themselves to protest Chinese rule, Radio Free Asia reported, as Chinese
: authorities blamed the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, for
: the unrest.
: Saunders told CNN the scale of the protests was unprecedented since the imposition
: of Chinese martial law in 1989.
: Security forces also fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesting Tibetan
: monks near Lhasa on Tuesday, according to Radio Free Asia, a nonprofit corporation
: funded by the U.S. government.
: Buddhist monks in Lhasa began the protests on Monday, the anniversary of
: the failed 1959 Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule, The Associated Press
: reported.
: advertisement
: Security forces responded later in the week by surrounding three monasteries
: in Lhasa, according to the International Campaign to Free Tibet, which promotes
: human rights and democratic freedom in Tibet.
: In India, authorities broke up a march Thursday by 100 Tibetan exiles who
: had planned to trek from the northern city of Dharamshala to Tibet's border
: in a "Free Tibet" protest.
