It now appears that at least two people died during the Lhasa protests. Word is that hundreds have been injured and that Tibetan ethnics may be in control of The Barkhor - a heavily populated, center-city Lhasa neighborhood, which features a nice square.
That square is central to the Jokhang Buddhist Temple. The Jokhang is Tibetan Buddhism’s most scared temple.
For those of you who’ve been to Lhasa, Barkhor is a about a mile east of the Potala Palace, which was the chief residence of the first 13 Dali Lama.
