It's been years since the last time I took to the streets as part of a demonstration, today I did it again.

Being a Buddhist, and specially practicing Tibetan Buddhism, ultimately has brought me close to the plight of the Tibetan People, whose country was illegally occupied by the Chinese in 1959. Since then they have been forced to become mowly and unrespected minority within their own country, subject to constant abuse and virtually being driven to extintion by an overwhelming Han Chinese immigration.

For more that fifty years now the Chinese government has tried to win the minds and herts of the Tibetan People, and when this failed they have resorted to open violence and brutal repression, killing more than two million Tibetans in their effort to crush all dissent.

This has largely gone unnoticed to anyone outside the very small circle of supporters, until now.
