DHARAMSHALA: Hundreds of Tibetan women in exile protested against China and raised slogans for the freedom of Tibet while commemorating the 63rd anniversary of Tibetan national Women Uprising Day in the hill town of Dharamshala on Saturday.
"We are remembering the year 1959 when the Tibetan women staged a protest
in Tibet. We want freedom for Tibetans living in Tibet," said Lhamo, an
activist involved with Tibetan Women's Association (TWA), which held
the protest.
Tenzin Passang, an activist from Students for a Free Tibet said, "We demand from the world
and the international community that they see the situation in Tibet and make
China accountable for gross human rights violations in Tibet."
The Tibetan Uprising in 1959 began as a spontaneous act of peaceful protest

violent, in which thousands of Tibetans were killed by the marauding soldiers
of the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
