Open Tibet to journalists

Reporters without borders calls on China to extend the apparent openness following the recent earthquake in Sichuan province to reporters working in Tibet,
"The government is allowing the foreign media a remarkable and unprecedented level of freedom in Sichuan," Reporters Without Borders said. "It should be extended to the Tibetan regions which the international press has not been able to visit freely since the Lhasa riots on 14 March. The government is clearly trying to prevent the foreign media from confirming the few reports emerging about arrests of Tibetans and reeducation campaigns being carried out since then." link
