Protests in Other Parts of the World

    Recently we have looked at different protests around the world, many in the US, that have used nonviolent protests to get there point across.  Some of these would be people in South America or Detroit finding ways to get the water they need, or the protests to the WTO all over the globe.  Now in the news there has been word of a different type of protesting taking place.

The protests that are being talked about are those taking place in Tibet.  The activists have begun using violent tactics to get their point across, which is their distaste for Chinese rule in the area.  The article listed below states that ten people were burned to death in the protests, but does not state who or why.  This just shows that people are willing to do anything imaginable to get a point across that they feel so passionately about.
