The security in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and main roads following deadly protest in Sichuan province has been tighten due to a senior Chinese official’s order. Lhasa Communist party secretary QI Zhala informed about a crackdown on people involved in “separatist, destructives and criminal” activities. This security has been tightened due the move that came after protesters clashed with security forces in some parts of Sichuan province last week. Observers of this news say the recent violence is the most serious outbreak of anti-government protest among Tibetans in nearly four years. This activities lead to three death and injured more than dozens. This tighten in security will prevent further unrest regarding mainly separatist and Dalai Lama.

I think this action does have a point in Chinese defense, for the Chinese government want to keep the Tibetan province under their control. Also, this order has a good point, for there will be less chaos. However, I believed that this order was made only so that the government can have more control over the Tibetan province. As a person surrounded by Tibetan, I think Tibet should be free. Tibet has its own unique culture, religion and language that is totally different China. Although I do like the part that there will be less violence, I do not like the part that the order will restrict that freedom of Tibet.
