The 2008 Tibetan unrest, also called the 2008 Tibetan uprising, was a series of protests and demonstrations that broke out in March 2008 over the Chinese Communist Party's treatment of Tibetans, beginning with monks and nuns in Lhasa on 10 March 2008. The unrest spread across Tibetan areas of China and turned violent in places, and estimates of the death toll vary sharply between the Chinese government's count of 23 and the Central Tibetan Administration's count of several hundred.
