It would only be the CIA if the monks had Stinger missiles and AK 47 assault rifles. The CIA does not believe in peaceful protests.
It was this and not the Dalai Lama, nor the CIA who started the rioting in Tibet.

Why were the Monks so pinned in by the police?

Looks like the city is burning in the background which would say this was already in the mist of rioting. Not the evidence that the monks started it.

The Drepung sit down protest was apparently sparked by even earlier arrests in February when some monks participating in the traditional Monlam Festival were arrested for shouting out Long Live the Dalai Lama.

These "peaceful" Tibetan protesters in Belgium were also just shouting out "Long Live the Dalai Lama" and were nothing close to peaceful.

But unlike China, protesters don't get shot with live bullets, or serve life terms in prison labour camps for shouting "Long Live the Dalai Lama"
Why is China so scared of free speech ?

China White as usual applies selective morality and totally ignores that at the start of this video clip the protest was peaceful until arrests began.
Extract from Tibet Watch press release 6 February 2006
"The new testimonies gathered by Tibet Watch confirms our fears of a growing repression in Gansu Province" said Yael Weisz-Rind of Free Tibet Campaign. "The picture portrayed is of a renewed effort by China to crackdown on freedom of religion and freedom of expression, across Tibet, target monks and nuns and intensify its 'patriotic education campaign' in monasteries".
Two of the nuns, Tadrin Tsomo and Choekyi Drolma, and one of the monks, Dargye Gyatso, were all sentenced to three years imprisonment. The third nun, Yonten Drolma (earlier reported as Yonten Tsomo, lay name: Dukarkyi), and the second monk, Jamyang Samdrub, were both sentenced to one and a half years imprisonment. Details reveal that Yonten Drolma and Choekyi Drolma were arrested on their way from the nunnery to Labrang town, Tamdrin Tsomo's arrest took place at her home and Dargye Gyatso was arrested in his room in the monastery. Circumstances surrounding Jamyang Samdrub's arrest are still unclear. (2)
You can be jailed in America if you advocate succession as well. You may also want to read the Patriot Act as well since you somehow believe that China is the only country doing things like this
