Tibetan Uprising

All the marchers, who were stopped at the Indo-Tibet border area in Uttarakhand State and forcibly sent to Ponta Sahib, hung a banner at their campsite today to protest media censorship in Tibet. Since the massive uprising of the Tibetan people in Tibet on March 10 this year, the Chinese government has refused all media access to Tibet. The lack of foreign journalists and tourists guarantee that Chinese government can get away with its atrocious human rights violations in Tibet.

Tibetan People’s Uprising Movement strongly condemns the Chinese Government’s denial of media freedom and demands immediate access to Tibet for any foreign journalists.
