Tibet : Tibetans pulled down Chinese flag in Pema

Tibetans in Golog turned out in large numbers on Thursday to protest against Chinese rule.At around 11.00 a.m., the Tibetans marched towards the township government in Pema county, pulled down the Chinese flag, put up a Tibetan flag, and displayed a photo of the Dalai Lama.Not long afterward, 16 Chinese police vehicles of different sizes arrived at the town and restricted Tibetan activities.Shops and restaurants in Pema county have been closed and the entire area placed under security lockdown since police foiled an attempt by a local monk to self-immolate.Chinese security forces are stationed at the main gates and bridges in the area and are checking every Tibetan who passes through the checkpoints.
