Tibetans Protest
Japan: Tibetan community members observe National Uprising Day, demonstrates outside Chinese embassy
Tokyo: Members of the Tibetan community observed the 63rd anniversary of Tibetan National Uprising Day by holding an anti-China demonstration outside the Chinese embassy here on Saturday.
Remembering their homeland that has been under illegal Chinese occupation since 1950, the protestors recalled the loss of their language, culture and way of life in Tibet, and urged the world to join their voice for freedom of Tibet from the Chinese yoke, reports ANI.
Later in the day, they were joined by more supporters, and over 60 persons gathered in Asakusa, a busy area that is rich with cultural and religious symbolism, the news agency reported.
The protesters also raised slogans while demonstrating and the organisers called the Chinese government to respect its own Constitution and give the ethnic minorities in China their basic rights so that they do not feel like second class citizens.
