Tuesday 10th March 11am
Opposite 10 Downing Street
On March 10, 1959, tens of thousands of Tibetans took to the streets of Lhasa — Tibet’s capital — rising up against China’s illegal occupation of Tibet. The uprising was violently quelled by the Chinese military, resulting in thousands of deaths. More than 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed, 6,000 monasteries have been demolished and more than 100,000 Tibetans have fled to exile as a direct result of the Chinese occupation.
Since 2009, 156 Tibetans has committed self immolation in side Tibet in the form of protest against china’s illegal rule over Tibet. To this day, China rules Tibetans with an iron fist and Tibet is ranked as the second-least-free place in the world (next to Syria) in the annual Freedom test report.
Under Xi Jinping’s totalitarian rule, the brutal crackdowns against voices demanding freedom, democracy and human rights across China and its occupied territories have intensified. In Tibet today, there is no freedom of speech, assembly, press or religion. Tibet is locked down and become the largest prison in the world.
