These protests turned into riots. Tibetans targeted Han Chinese settlers in Lhasa and burned the Chinese owned shops and restaurants. China says 18 Chinese civilians and one police officer died in the riots. The exiled Tibetan government says about 250 Tibetans were killed during the crackdown of the riots.
