Tibetan activists protest against Chinese President Xi's visit to Lhasa, Tibet
Lhasa — Chinese government deployed large number of armed forces to Lhasa, closed the Potala Palace to pilgrims, closed roads and streets, and restricted the movement of Tibetans when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Lhasa, Tibet. Tibetan activists from the Students for a Free Tibet staged a hunger strike to protest against Chinese President Xi's visit to Lhasa, Tibet, and his oppressive policies in Tibet, which are erasing Tibetan culture, religion, and identity and destroying the environment.
