Buddhist monks staged a surprise protest in front of a tightly-controlled tour of foreign reporters in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa.

Ezzat Shahrour, Beijing-based Al Jazeera correspondent, said the monks interrupted the tour and shouted that they wanted freedom in a rare display of continuing dissent in Tibet.

“About 50 to 60 monks came out screaming and shouting that they wanted freedom, that they wanted their colleagues to be released,” said Shahrour from Lhasa.
