Unrest spreads outside of Tibet: Wen
BEIJING (AFP) — Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said Tuesday that protests over China's rule of Tibet had spread from the Himalayan region to other areas of the country.
China also has evidence that groups aligned with the Dalai Lama were responsible for the deadly unrest in Tibet, Wen said.
He made the comments as China's annual session of parliament, the National People's Congress, came to an end after a two-week meeting that saw President Hu Jintao and Wen re-elected for five more years.
The meeting, attracting around 3,000 delegates, was overshadowed by events in China's far western region of Tibet, where protests against Chinese rule escalated into violent rioting last Friday.
