Shaving Heads (Photo Courtesy of TCHRD)On March 20, the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) launched a head-shaving campaign in Dharamsala. TCHRD staff members and interns shaved their heads and women staff wore black bandanas on their foreheads to show their sincere gesture of respect to those who were killed during the recent peaceful protests inside Tibet.

Head-shaving is a Hindu tradition to illustrate mourning for the death of a loved one.

In the days since TCHRD launced this campaign, there have been more and more people in Dharamsala shaving their heads in support of those Tibetans killed inside Tibet.
