超過130名來自於與西藏毗鄰的青海省的Lutsang寺的僧人，以及200名俗眾，聚集在一個政府大廈的外麵，高喊著支持達賴喇嘛的口號。警方製止了抗議活動，沒有被逮捕的報告。

在青海省Ditsa寺，20位中國當地政府的官員召集寺內的僧人開會，但是有70名僧人舉著達賴喇嘛的肖像離開了會場，並呼喊著支持西藏獨立的口號。沒有逮捕的報告。

兩名四川Kirti 寺的僧人刺破了他們的胸口，手和手腕。據亞洲自由之聲（RFA）電台播報，他們是為了抗議Sera寺17名僧人於周一的被捕。RFA  報道說，這兩名僧人的情況很危急，沒有生存的可能。其他Sera寺的僧人開始絕食以抗議逮捕行為。

警方逮捕了大約500名拉薩大學的學生。
