Tibetans asked to stop anti-China protests due to earthquake
(Bloomberg) The Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamsala (CTA) called on protesters to halt demonstrations against Chinese rule in Tibet, in an expression of solidarity with victims of the Sichuan earthquake. The CTA said on its website that Tibetans across the world should stop protesting outside Chinese embassies at least until the end of May. It also urged them to write a letter to the concerned authorities telling them they are suspending protests "in solidarity with the quake victims".
