The Tibetan government-in-exile yesterday demanded the UN intervene to end rights violations in Tibet following deadly protests and said it had received confirmation that about 30 people had been killed in clashes.

Beijing said yesterday it would give rioters until midnight tomorrow to turn themselves in as protests continued in China both in and outside of Tibet.

"The Tibetan parliament urges the UN to send representatives immediately and intervene and investigate the current urgent human rights violations in Tibet," the administration said in a statement.

"We are confirming approximately 30 deaths and we are even hearing numbers of over 100 dead, but this number we are unable to confirm," Tenzin Taklha, a senior official said.

Tanks and armored vehicles were out in force in the Tibetan capital Lhasa yesterday, a day after the worst protests against China’s rule in the vast, Himalayan region in nearly 20 years, witnesses said.

          Well, and what is the UN doing? Nothing, like always!

    That reminds me, what Carl Zuckmayer once wrote:

„The bad in the world does not exist because of those who do bad, but those, who tolerate bad!“
