Tibetan supporters united in Melbourne, Australia, with Uyghur, Chinese and Hong Kongers in support of the Hong Kong’s mass protests. Namgyal Dolkar, president of the Gu-Chu-Sum Movement association, who organised the rally with the Tibetan community in Victoria, said that Tibetans are moved by the Hong Kong protesters, and wanted to join them in sending a message of defiance to the Chinese government. The Hong Kong protests, with over 700 arrests, are now into their 12th week.
