Wen Jiabao's motorcade was
yelled with slogans and chants by the Tibetans at
opposite side of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where he is
staying. A group of people from SFT sneeked into the
Welcoming Chinese group where the Tibetan flag was
thrown while Wen Jiabao greeted his supporters. Han
from SFT had verbal clashes with the Chinese groups.
On the Tibetan side there were about 200 Tibetans who
shouted slogans demanding him to release Tenzin Delek
Rinpoche, Panchen Lama and rest of the Political
prisoners. The group was also joined by the Taiwanese
and East Turkistans. People shouted slogans supporting
Taiwan and East Turkistan. Some of the slogan leader
shouted slogans i.e. Wen Jiabao-Free Tibet, Wen
Jiabao-Release Tenzin Delek, stop the killings in
Tibet, Human rights in Tibet, China Lies-people die
etc.
This rally was organized by Tibetan Community of NY/NJ,
Students for a Free Tibet, USTC, Tibetan Women's
Association, Tibetan Youth Congress of NY/NJ. The
organizers will hold the demonstration tomorrow
morning at 7 a.m. at the same place and then follow
him at New York Stock exchange. People have been
registering for the bus trip to Washington DC where
Wen Jiabao will face us. We will not rest till Tibet
is free.
Tibetan Youth Congress of NY/NJ will launch a day long
fast from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m at the United Nations on
Human Rights Day demanding UN to be responsible on
Human Rights abuses. If Tibet is part of the World
then UN should be ashamed on failing to act upon the
violation of Human Rights, religious freedom and
mediation of dialogue between the Chinese Government
and His Holiness The Dalai Lama. There will be
demonstration from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. the same day
where we will urge UN to wake up and help Tibet.
We urge every Tibetan and the supporters of Tibet to
join us all. Anyone needing more information can check
SFT and TYC websites or speak with the board members
by calling their offices.
