This isn't even from State controlled media, this is independent European media based on a protected source.
According to an "unidentified witness". Yep, that's a reliable source. China has evicted all media and other foreigners from Tibet. Getting an account of what's going on that isn't controlled and censored by China right now is impossible. But go ahead and believe everything the media tells you. If it has been verified by "unidentified witnesses" then it must be true. I'll opt to apply a little bit more critical thinking to the matter.

Edit: I read both articles. I just don't get the same story from them that you do.
