Mangaluru, March 10, 2016 : A  protest meet was organised by members of the Regional Tibet Youth Congress here on March 10, Thursday in the wake of the twin immolations by Tibetan Youth recently, including one incident in India to oppose Chinese rule in Tibet. As many as 150 Tibetans have also committed self-immolation  over the years to protest against the Chinese repressive policies in Tibet.

 

Addressing the protest, Tenzin, President  of Tibetan Student s Association said the day also commemorates the 57th anniversary of the National Uprising Day  of Tibetans against Chinese occupation of  Tibet.

Several Tibetans participated in the protest.
