The marchers participated in a candle light vigil tonight in Delhi to mourn those killed during the Chinese crackdown in Tibet. They were joined by members of the Tibetan community in Delhi, Tibetans from neighboring states, students from the Tibetan Childrens’ Village schools in Dharamsala and Bylakuppe, as well as Indian supporters.

The Delhi chapter of Tibetan Youth Congress had organized a Marathon that ended at Jantar Mantar. They were warmly welcomed by all the Tibetans and supporters with thundering claps.

Many eminent Indian supporters spoke very strongly in favour of the Tibetan cause. A small group of Mahabodhi Society Monks also came to the protesting site to show their solidarity and offer their prayers for those who were killed during recent uprising in Tibet.
