Agencies | Lhasa
China locked down the Tibetan Capital on Saturday after the largest and most violent protests against its rule in the region in nearly two decades. China said 10 people were killed in firing on demonstrators even though the Tibetan Government in Exile said in a Press release on Saturday that confirmation of 30 deaths had already come and that the unofficial toll could be as high as 100. Demonstrators rampaging through Lhasa dashed Beijing's plans for a smooth run-up to August's Olympics despite Chinese claims that nothing would be allowed to jeopardise the Games.

Streets in Lhasa were empty with a curfew in place. Eyewitnesses described baton-wielding police patrolling streets as fires from Friday's violence smouldered.
