On Tibetan Uprising Day, remembering the day in Lhasa in 1959 when thousands of people took to the streets to protest against the Chinese invasion of Tibet, events are taking place around the world. The statement by the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile said Tibetans “Remember and pay tribute to all those who have sacrificed their lives for our nation’s struggle”. In Delhi, police intervened in a demonstration outside the Chinese Embassy.
