Photos: Tibetans from the Midwest take protests to Iowa

The day culminated in members of the Tibetan group being forced off the Iowa State Capitol steps 45 minutes after the time that had previously been agreed upon as the end of their demonstration there. Emotions that were high during the day boiled over as one man was detained and many others were briskly and deliberately corralled off the steps by approximately 30 Iowa State Troopers. Many in the crowd cried as the group was forced away during their peaceful protest.
