Language protests spread among Tibetan students (AP)

October 22nd, 2010

In this Oct. 19, 2010 photo released by Free Tibet Wednesday Oct. 20, 2010, Tibetan students gather in protest on the streets of Tongren in western China's Qinghai province. Tibetan students in western China marched in protest of unconfirmed plans to use the Chinese language exclusively in classes, teachers said Wednesday, an unusually bold challenge to authorities that reflects a deep unease over cultural marginalization. (AP Photo/Free Tibet) ** EDITORIAL USE ONLY **AP - Demonstrations have spread among Tibetan students angered by reports that Beijing plans to make Chinese the only language of instruction in schools, an activist group said Friday.
