STAND UP FOR TIBET  

Ten young Tibetans have set fire to themselves in eastern Tibet since March 2011; eight since 26 September. At least five have died including a nun. These unprecedented and truly desperate acts are a cry to the outside world for help.

Seven of these self-immolations are linked to Kirti Monastery in Ngaba, one of the largest and most influential monastic institutions in Tibet.

China’s merciless and violent crackdown in Ngaba and throughout Tibet is intensifying Tibetan grievances and exacerbating the resentment and desperation felt across Tibet.

On 2 November, The Sydney Tibetan Community and Australia Tibet Council joined Tibetans and their supporters in over 50 countries to STAND UP FOR TIBET in a global day of action. there was a big turn up of RALLY at the Chinese Consulate all Tibetans for asking for Freedom and Peace as China Government are against the freedom ... there were many old peoples and little kids for the rally at Sydney and later the rally was  followed by a VIGIL and PRAYERS for the Tibetans who have self-immolated at Hyde Park North.
