An emergency official told AFP news agency that many people had been hurt and an unspecified number had died.


The Dalai Lama, who heads Tibet's government-in-exile in India, released a statement expressing deep concern.


He called on the Chinese leadership to "stop using force and address the long-simmering resentment of the Tibetan people through dialogue with the Tibetan people."


He added: "I also urge my fellow Tibetans not to resort to violence."
