Many leaflets and posters were distributed that warned of more Tibetan self-immolations to protest against Chinese rule, if the Chinese authorities did not show concern in reply to Tibetan people's voices. Sources also stated that leaflets had appeared for two days (January 23-24) in and around Serta town.
The unrest has prompted Dr. Lobsang Sangay, elected political leader of the Tibetan government-in-exile, to call on the international community and governments "..to not remain passive" and "to intervene to prevent further bloodshed".

"As a nation aspiring to become a world economic and political power, the People's Republic of China cannot be permitted to behave in such an immoral and violent manner," Dr. Sangay further added.
The United States on Tuesday said it was "seriously concerned" by the situation, calling on Chinese security forces to "exercise restraint" and urging authorities to allow journalists and diplomats into flash-point areas.
On Tuesday, Maria Otero, special coordinator for Tibetan issues at the US State Department, said Washington had repeatedly urged China to address "counterproductive policies in Tibetan areas".
"We urge the Chinese security forces to exercise restraint, and we renew our call to allow access to Tibetan areas of China for journalists, diplomats and other observers," Otero said in a statement.

The incident came a day after armed Chinese forces and police in Drakgo county on Monday, January 23rd opened fire on a crowd of Tibetans protesting against China's repressive policy against the Tibetan people, with three people reportedly shot dead and over 30 injured including 2 with serious injuries. More than 200 protesters were arrested, according to sources in Tibet.
China disputes this version of events, accusing "overseas secessionist groups" of trying to discredit the government by hyping accounts of what happened, and says one protester died in a clash triggered by a violent mob. But monks reached by phone Monday and Tuesday at the Drakgo Monastery said the shooting did occur, and that wounded people had taken refuge there as thousands of armed police stood guard outside.
China is a regime where freedom of information has considerably worsened under authoritarian rule. Details about current events in Tibet are still unknown as international correspondents were particular targets of the security forces and had to work under the continual threat of expulsion or having their visas withdrawn. Journalists were prevented from covering most of the events that threatened China's stability or might have given it a negative image, according to a latest statement issued by Paris based international press freedom watch dog; "Reporters Without Borders."
