Great Regulars: Authorities in Tibetan areas of western China

have placed a curfew on Tibetan Buddhist monasteries during the Olympics, forbidding Tibetans from traveling to Beijing and confining some monks around the clock, informed sources said.

"Since the beginning of August, many monks have been confined to their monasteries day and night," a spokesman for the Tibetan government-in-exile in India said.
