49th Tibetan Uprising Day

Tibetan leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama on Monday, March 10, 2008, attended the official function marking the 49th anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan National Uprising against Communist China’s continuing presence in Tibet. “For nearly six decades Tibetans have had to live in a state of constant fear under Chinese repression,” he said in his official speech in Dharamsala. Following the function, hundreds of Tibetans left for “Return March to Tibet” to protest China’s illegal and brutal occupation of their country and to highlight the unresolved Tibet issue.
