September 14 Sunday:

Brutal crackdown by Chinese on peaceful Tibetan protesters on March 14, 2008, was observed as a solidarity day. On 10th March this year, historic Uprising sparked off as a small protest march led by dozens of Sera Monks in Lhasa which was soon joined by thousands of Tibetans in Lhasa to vent their frustration and anguish as a result of sixty year long simmering resentment and opposition to China's illegal and oppressive rule in Tibet. On 14th March the Chinese security and military forces began massacring hundreds of unarmed Tibetans protesters turning the Lhasa the capital city of Lhasa into a veritable slaughtering house.

The staff and students paid rich tribute paid to the martyrs offered prayers for them and also for early release of all those imprisoned since March 10.

The communist Chinese government brutally crushed these peaceful protests with violent crackdown in which hundreds of Tibetans were killed and over seven thousands arrested and imprisoned and hundreds disappeared since then. Chinese government unsuccessfully attempted to mislead the world by propagating the historic uprising as ' riots', which was subsequently unmasked by several eye witness accounts reaching the free world in the months after the brutal crackdown in Tibet. The staff and students prayed for the martyrs and for peace in Tibet and also for early resolution of Tibetan issue through peaceful dialogue through His Holiness the Dalai Lama's middle way approach.

It was the sixth month of red China's brutal crackdown on peaceful Tibetan protesters, who took to streets in Lhasa to protest and oppose China's genocidal policies in Tibet on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of 1959 Tibetan People's National Uprising Day. The staff and students paid rich tribute to the martyrs who were killed by red Chinese military forces and expressed solidarity with the fellow Tibetans inside Tibet.
