According to some humanity experts, people's lives have developed and improved over the years, but they add that the riots in Tibet on March 14 were a violation of human rights.
The riots in Lhasa two weeks ago claimed 18 innocent lives and injured 382 people. Hundreds of stores were destroyed, and seven schools and five hospitals were burnt down. According to one anthropology expert, these numbers indicate the riots are a violation of Tibetan people's human rights.
Hao Shiyuan, Principal of Institute of Ethnology & Anthropology, said, "It's a typical example of the violation of human rights, by destroying the atmosphere when a society is experiencing a peaceful and harmonious development."
The vice-dean of the Central University for Nationalities was the first student to come from the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Garzi in Sichuan province 30 years ago.
He has studied Tibetan history since gaining his bachelor's degree in Beijing.
In his opinion, the Tibetan people's human rights have improved constantly over the last 50 years. He uses himself as an example of improving educational standards.
