Martyrs’ Day commemorated the death of Pawo Thupten Ngodup, the first Tibetan who used self-immolation as a form of protest in Delhi on April 29, 1998. At a ceremony in Dharamshala, prayers were offered for him and all the Tibetans who have died for Tibet, to remember and acknowledge their sacrifice. Tenzin Tsundue, activist and writer said, “the significance of Martyrs day has increased over the years.”
