ADVERTISEMENT The incident comes just over a year after deadly riots broke out in Tibet's regional capital Lhasa last March 14 after several days of peaceful protests by monks against Chinese rule. The official Xinhua news agency on Sunday said people had been "deceived by rumours" about the disappearance of a man, Zhaxi Sangwu, who had earlier been detained on suspicion of engaging in Tibet independence activities. On Saturday, a crowd "assaulted policemen and government staff. Some government staff were slightly injured," the report added. Calm had returned to the area, Xinhua said. The English-language report said six people had been formally arrested and another 89 had "surrendered," most of whom were monks at the Ragya Monastery. A local official was quoted as saying a search for monks who took part in the assault would continue. The report said Zhaxi Sangwu had "managed to run away from the police station on Saturday on the excuse of using the bathroom." The man apparently swam across a river to escape and was still missing. Last March's protests by Buddhist monks led to the killing of 19 people and sparked waves of protests across Tibetan areas. Groups of Tibetan exiles say more than 200 people died in the crackdown. A year later, a tight web of troops and police across Tibetan areas has apparently helped deter major unrest. A trickle of isolated protests in recent weeks, including a monk who set himself on fire at the Kirti monastery in western Sichuan and a bomb thrown at a government office, which caused no casualties, suggest lingering discontent. Earlier this month the self-exiled Dalai Lama lamented that Tibet, which he fled 50 years ago, had become a "hell on earth" thanks to repressive Chinese rule. He said support for Tibet within China was rising steadily.
