Tibetan exiles protest China’s rule outside the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi, India on February 16, 2012. The upcoming Tibetan New Year’s celebrations appear poised to bring more bloodshed to the troubled Himalayan region, the head of Tibet’s exile government Lobsang Sangay told The Associated Press on Tuesday. He warned that China has sealed off the regions ahead of a crackdown and that festivals around next week’s Tibetan New Year- as well as the March 10 anniversary of the failed 1959 uprising-are very likely to bring Tibetans into the streets.
