Tibetan Uprising Day, which commemorates the original uprising against the Chinese invasion in Lhasa, Tibet, in March 1959, is being observed around the world in the exile Tibetan community as well as in Tibet, despite the crackdown there. In Dharamshala, the Vice-President of the Bundestag (German Parliament) Claudia Roth, who is attending the official Uprising Day events, urged China to resume dialogue with the Tibetans.
