Tibetan Uprising

In light of the recent protests across Tibet and violent crack down by the Chinese authorities, Indians will be holding a national Day of Action for Tibet on Monday, March 24th. As the Beijing Olympic Torch is lit in Greece, Indians and Tibetans will stage mass demonstrations, vigils and sit-ins across India to show their solidarity with the Tibetan protesters inside Tibet. We are calling on all activist organizations and Tibet support groups in India to join in these protests, or organize one in their own communities.

Protests have been organized in the following cities:
