Washington: The United States today decried China's expulsion of foreign journalists from Tibet saying it was disturbing and disappointing amid unrest there.
"There are reports out there that the Chinese have also decided to order out of Tibet any remaining foreign journalists, which is also disturbing, and disappointing as well, since that limits the information that any of us can reasonably have about the situation there," said State Department spokesman Tom Casey.
At least 10 reporters from Hong Kong were expelled today from Tibet on the heels of China s worst crackdown in Tibet in years.
China faced mounting global pressure over Tibet amid exiles claims that hundreds of people may have died in a crackdown on protesters, even though Beijing denied using deadly force.
