Protest in Rebgong

By Contact Staff /  November 9, 2012;

Thousands of students took to the streets in Rebgong (Chinese Tongren) in north-eastern Tibet, on Thursday. The students held a peaceful demonstration around 5 am on Friday, raising slogans demanding equality of nationality, freedom for Tibetans and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet. They later gathered at Dolma square in front of Rongwo monastery, where a large number of local Tibetans from neighbouring areas had assembled to express their solidarity with Kalsang Jinpa, an 18-year-old Tibetan, who died of self-immolation there yesterday.
