On the fourteenth of March, there was a demonstration in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. More than 100 Tibetan monks (lama) began the protest, joined by hundreds of Tibetan people. They burned the national flag of the communist government. Several cars were overturned and set on fire. 

A Tibetan guide said armed police backed by armored vehicles were blocking major intersections in the city center and that an entire street in a busy shopping area outside the Jokhang temple "seemed to be on fire." The Associated Press reported.

"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.
