Remember Tibet?

After the massacre on the monks it seemed cool and hip to put on a red shirt to honour the monks and their struggle for democracy. It lasted for what? A week?

However, yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the uprising that sent the Dalai Lama into exile.

“Even today, Tibetans in Tibet live in constant fear, and the Chinese authorities remain constantly suspicious of them,” the Dalai Lama said in this Indian hill town, where he and the self-proclaimed government-in-exile have been based since shortly after fleeing their homeland.
