11th March 2006 (Saturday)

This year marks the 47th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising. On 10 March 1959, Tibetans stood against the illegal occupation of Tibet by the Communist China and thousands of Tibetans were killed in this historic uprising. Since then, Tibetans and its supporters from all walks of life commemorate and remember this day with gratitude and reverence for all those Tibetans who have sacrificed and still continue to sacrifice their lives for a free Tibet.

Some of the highlight of events to commemorate this day is as below:
