Police are searching for Tibetans who took part in demonstrations in Hezuo in China's Gansu Province, according to a monk who lives in the town.
He also told the BBC that the protests were started by school pupils after they heard about the protests in Lhasa, the capital of the Tibetan Autonomous Region.
But the monk added that he did not agree with the violence - from either Tibetans or the Chinese government - and did not support Tibetan independence.
Hezuo is in Gansu's Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. There has been major unrest in the area since last Saturday.
The BBC has just left the town, which has been taken over by the Chinese military. Soldiers armed with assault rifles stood guard on approach roads.

That is not at all what I was saying. Buddhism certainly does not do that.
I believe you have lived in a Buddist country to feel it.

I am a Buddhist so perhaps it’s more the country and not the Buddhism. That said; there are confused individuals in every group. Obviously the Tibetan people are not happy with their situation and are willing to risk injury or death for some change.
I agree with what you said. Very well put. I believe Chinese people are the same way as Tibetan people. Just a question of time. I used to live in China. Am US citizen and FReeper now. It’s a pleasure.
No wonder the Dalai Lama is much respected. Why don’t Tibetan and/or Chinese people fight back using their own guns against CCP’s PLA? No gun? Go get a gun!
Thank you. I’m glad (and sad at the same time) that the Chinese people aren’t satisfied with things as they are. No one wants to live as a serf doing only what they are told to do or allowed to do and in great fear should they displease some authority. Glad you are a U.S. citizen and a FReeper now. Welcome home on both counts.
It’s probably fairly tough to get a gun in Tibet. The Chinese army disarmed Tibet.
