Tibetans and their supporters march through the streets of London Sat 6th march 2010

Organised by a coalition of UK Tibet groups, this annual freedom march for Tibet marks the 51st Anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising. It is two years on from the protests and demonstrations in Tibet in the spring of 2008, that led to the death of over 200 Tibetans, with thousands more detained, summarily tried and draconian sentences being meted out. Two young Tibetans, Lobsang Gyaltsen and Mr Loyak, received death sentences and were executed in October 2009. Today over 1,000 Tibetans remain unaccounted for. This march will be one of many being staged worldwide.
