> Tourists speak of shock and fear at Tibet riots
> Jeremy Page in Kathmandu
>
> Western tourists emerging from Tibet yesterday described their shock
> and fear as they watched a "howling" mob of Tibetans stoning and
> beating Chinese passers-by in two days of rioting in Lhasa last week.
>
> They said that the crowd turned on anyone and anything that looked
> Chinese, knocking over motorcyclists, hitting them with metal rods and
> setting fire to their motorcycles.
>
> Their testimony illustrated the ferocity of the riots, which have
> undermined not only China's claims to have brought peace and
> prosperity to Tibet but also the Dalai Lama's longstanding creed of
> non-violent resistance.
>
> "It's hard to pick a side in what happened," said John Kenwood, a 19-
> year-old backpacker from Canada who flew into Kathmandu, the Nepalese
> capital, yesterday after spending ten days in Lhasa.
>
> "I agree that the Tibetans have their own culture, but I can't agree
> with what people did. After a while, it was not about Tibetan freedom
> any more."
>
> He said that he was walking along Beijing East Road in the Tibetan
> quarter in Lhasa when he saw four Chinese military trucks pull up at
> the intersection with an alley leading to the Ramoche temple.
>
> Mr Kenwood said that he saw someone throw a large stone at one of the
> trucks, sma****ng its windscreen, and then about 30-40 paramilitary
> police armed with riot ****elds and batons jumping out of another
> truck.
>
> They blocked off the entrance to the alleyway, but were soon
> surrounded by a large crowd of Tibetans who began pelting them with
> stones, he said. He also said that he saw three boxes of stones but it
> was not clear who had provided them.
>
> After a few minutes two or three of the younger Tibetans rushed at the
> Chinese police and they fled down the alleyway towards the Ramoche
> temple, he said. The crowd followed but soon turned back and began
> attacking Chinese shops and passers-by on Beijing East Road.
>
> He said that he saw at least five Chinese people being attacked by the
> crowd, including a motorcyclist in his 20s who he thought was beaten
> to death. "They got him in the head with a large piece of sidewalk,"
> he said. "He was down on the ground and he was not moving."
>
> Mr Kenwood added that he spent the weekend confined to the Yak Hotel
> on Beijing East Road, from where he heard gunfire and teargas
> canisters and saw armoured personnel carriers moving through the
> streets.
>
> As he left Lhasa yesterday most schools, shops and other businesses
> had reopened and Tibetans and Chinese were moving around the city, he
> said. He added that there were very few young Tibetans on the streets
> after the midnight deadline on Monday for rioters to surrender.
>
> "The Tibetans weren't smiling any more," he said. "There were soldiers
> everywhere. I saw some older Tibetan ladies but there were fewer young
> guys wandering around."
>
> Claude Balsiger, a 25-year-old backpacker from Switzerland who arrived
> in Lhasa on March 8 and flew to Kathmandu yesterday gave a similar
> account of the violence. He described seeing the mob beating an old
> Chinese man on a bicycle. "They were howling like wolves," he said.
> "That's the point when it went insane. They started attacking anything
> and anyone that looked Chinese."
>
> He also described seeing a Canadian tourist step in to rescue a young
> Chinese man being attacked by the crowd. "They were kicking him in the
> ribs and he was bleeding from the face," he said. "But then a white
> man walked up ... helped him up from the ground. There was a crowd of
> Tibetans holding stones. He held the Chinese man close, waved his hand
> at the crowd and they let him lead the man to safety."
>
> Mr Balsiger said that Lhasa was very tense and locals were re****ting
> as many as 100 people dead and 1,000 arrested as he left the city on
> Monday to spend the night at an air****t hotel.
>
> He said that there were military checkpoints every 10-15 metres,
> manned by young Chinese soldiers with bayonets fixed on their rifles.
> "They were really young and nervous. They always had their finger on
> the trigger - that's what made us really nervous."
>
> Stephen Thompson, 41, from New Zealand, said that he arrived at the
> Saikang Hotel just as the riot was starting and saw the mob smash the
> glass front of the building. "We didn't feel in danger but some people
> in the group were pretty emotional and one person was injured by a
> rock that hit them on the head," he said.
>
> Martin Camps, 55, from Germany, said that he had arrived with his wife
> on the train from Beijing on Friday, only to be told that he could not
> leave his hotel and that all attractions were shut. Hotel staff then
> told him to leave on Sunday, when he was driven to the air****t hotel.
> "I think without China it would be much better there," he said.
