Tibetan protesters attack firemen lying on the ground as civil unrest continues for the fifth day in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa, China, 14 March 2008. The protests, led by monks who had been marking the anniversary of an unsuccessful anti-China uprising in 1959 on 10 March, grew into a widespread upheaval with a curfew implemented, gunfire reported and access to the Tibetan capital curtailed. The three main monasteries have also been sealed off by military units in what is believed to be the largest civil disturbance in Tibet since the bloody suppression of pro-independence demonstrations in spring 1989.
