[AFP] Pro-Tibet websites remained blocked in the Olympic press centre and elsewhere on Friday, amid reports that Chinese troops had opened fire on protesters in a remote area of southwest China.
Sites for the Tibetan government-in-exile and Tibetan activist groups were unaccessible, as well as others deemed sensitive by China's communist rulers such as those linked to spiritual group Falungong and Chinese dissidents.
