1,500 people attended a Tibet Solidarity Rally in Geneva, Switzerland, calling for freedom of religion and human rights. Tibet support non-government organisations and members of the Tibetan community were joined by Uyghur people from East Turkestan in China; the date coincides with the ongoing United Nations session. Rally slogans included: “Freedom for Tibet and East Turkestan,” “Long live HH the Dalai Lama” and “Tibet was never Part of China”.
