Honouring the Martyr

By Contact Staff /  January 16, 2013;

Hundreds of Tibetans and supporters, including the Tibetan Chief Justice Commissioners, Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay, and Member of the Tibetan Parliament, attended a prayer service today at Tsug-la Khang, the main temple in Dharamshala. The special prayer service, led by H.E. the 11th Kirti Rinpoche was held in honour of Tsering Tashi and Passang Lhamo, who set themselves on fire in protest against China’s repressive policies. Tsering Tashi, 22, passed away in his self-immolation protest on January 12 in Amchok town in Sangchu region of eastern Tibet.
