<title>Tension in Tibet from Newser</title>
<description>Tibetan monks staged the biggest anti-Chinese demonstration in 2 decades in March, marking the anniversary of a failed 1959 Tibetan uprising. Over the next week, Chinese paramilitary police arrested nearly 1,000 Tibetans; 80 more are dead. The Dalai Lama has called for an investigation into China's &amp;quot;cultural genocide&amp;quot; in Tibet, while warning that he will step down as leader of the Tibetans if the violence persists.</description>
