Tibetan Uprising Day Aniversary

On March 10th, 1959 Tibetans rose up against China's illegal
invasion and occupation of their country. The Chinese troops responded
with brutal force resulting in the Dalai Lama and members of the
Tibetan government escape and long term relocation to India. In the
months that followed the uprising, tens of thousands of Tibetan men,
women and children were massacred and imprisoned. Brutality is ongoing.

Inside Tibet in 2006 the noble battle continues to rage. Acts of
protest occur almost daily, despite the harsh repercussions.

Just a couple days ago, Wangpo Tethong, staged a protest in China's
Tiananmen Square, unfurling a protest banner in front of the Olympic
countdown clock. This brave demonstration is a sign of things to come
if China does not solve the Tibetan issue before August 2008.

Please join thousands of people around the world speaking out for
Tibetan freedom. Demand an end to the occupation of Tibet.
