China state media says Tibet protests have spread to other provinces
None
Chinese state media acknowledged Thursday that anti-government riots have spread to other provinces after rocking Tibet last week, as communist authorities announced the first group of arrests for the violence.
The Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, said it was "seriously concerned" about a planned meeting between British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the Dalai Lama, telling Brown not to offer support to Tibet's exiled Buddhist leader. (AP)
