The unarmed protesters, many of whom were farmers and nomads raised slogans calling for freedom in Tibet and the return of the Dalai Lama.

As the protests grew stronger, the Public Security Bureau and People's Armed Police intervened by using guns to rein in the protesters.

Earlier information confirmed the death of Norpa Yonten and another unnamed Tibetan. More than 30 Tibetans suffered serious injuries in the indiscriminate firings.

It can be seen from the photos that the injured Tibetans have bare minimum medical resources at their disposal, leaving very little chances of recovery or even survival.

Following the protests, an undeclared martial law situation prevailed in the region as Tibetans were prevented from going out of their houses. According to sources, fearing arrest, injured Tibetans are being forced to remain indoors with no proper medical attention.

Speaking to Phayul, Tibetans from Drango, currently residing in the Drepung monastery in south India said that the region continues to be under strict military clampdown.

"We are receiving information that Tibetans are being strictly barred from visiting the central areas of the town," the Drepung monks said. "People are being severely beaten and detained and those suspected of taking part in the protests are being arrested."

Other sources have confirmed the arrest of one hundred Tibetans from Drango in the past few days on suspicion of their involvement in the protests.

You may have wondered: Why do "Tibetans protest in South-West China"?

or

Why do "Tibetans protest in Chinese province: Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu, Yunnan"?
Tibet is comprised of the three provices:
U-Tsang, Kham, and Amdo.
Amdo (now split by China into the provinces of Qinghai, Gansu & Sichuan).
Kham (largely incorporated into the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Qinghai),
and U-Tsang (which, together with western Kham, is today referred to by China as the Tibet Autonomous Region).
The "Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR)" comprises less than half of historic and ethnographic Tibet and was created by China in 1965 for administrative reasons. It is important to note that when Chinese officials and publications use the term "Tibet" they mean only the "TAR".
Tibetans use the term Tibet to mean the three provinces described above, i.e., the area traditionally known as Tibet before the 1949-50 invasion (U-Tsang + Kham + Amdo).

At roughly 1/3 of the actual real size of Tibet, the bulk of Tibet lies outside of "TAR".

Under Chinese rule, the Tibetan landmass has been divided into the following administrative units:

a) "TAR" : Tibet Autonomous Region

b) Qinghai Province :
Haibei [Tibetan: Tsochang] Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,
Hainan [Tsolho] Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,
Huangan [Malho] Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,
Guoluo [Golog] Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,
Yushu [Jyekundo] Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and
Haixi [Tsonub] Mongolian-Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.

c) Gansu Province :
Tianzu [Pari] Tibetan Autonomous County and
Gannan [Gannan] Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.

d) Sichuan Province :
Aba [Ngaba] Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Prefecture,
Ganzi [Kardze] Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and
Mili [Mili] Tibetan Autonomous County

e) Yunnan Province :
Diqing [Dechen] Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture
