March 10th 2008, marks the 49th anniversary of the Tibetan National
Uprising when tens of thousands of Tibetans rose up against China's
illegal invasion and occupation of their country. Despite China's best
attempts to destroy the Tibetan spirit, Tibetan resistance has continued
for nearly half a century inside Tibet and in exile communities worldwide.
This year, with all eyes focused on the Olympics in China, Tibetans and
supporters worldwide are protesting the Chinese government's use of the
Olympics as a political tool to legitimize its illegal occupation of Tibet.
Join the Global Uprising for Tibet! Help us draw attention to the
worsening human rights situation inside Tibet. Help us use the Olympics
spotlight to shame and embarrass the Chinese government and show them
that until Tibet is free, China will never be never be accepted as a
leader on the world stage.
