The President of Tibetan Youth Congress, Tenzing Jigme, addressed the meeting that was attended by over 200 delegates from 75 different countries. Jigme highlighted the current situation inside the Tibet and the spate of self-immolations there. TYC’s Uprising March campaign started on Feb 8 in Dharamshala and ends on March 10 in Delhi.
“We must use every opportunity, every stage, every moment we get to speak for Tibet and expose the truth,” said TYC President Jigme. He added that the support he has received and the solidarity for Tibet has been tremendous.
