From Bloomberg:
Tibet’s government-in-exile called on protesters to halt demonstrations against Chinese rule in the Himalayan territory, in an expression of solidarity with victims of the Sichuan earthquake.
Tibetans across the world should stop protesting outside Chinese embassies at least until the end of May, the government said in a statement posted on its Web site. They should write a letter to the concerned authorities “that they are doing so in solidarity with the quake victims.”
The government-in-exile, based in Dharamshala, northern India, says more than 200 people have been killed since protests against Chinese rule broke out in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, and other regions on March 10. China, which accuses the Dalai Lama of fomenting unrest, says 18 civilians and one police officer died in March 14 riots in Lhasa.
