Since the beginning of March this year ever since Tibet burst into a
tumultuous uprising in the international media, many things went unnoticed
and not aptly explained, therefore a lot of confusion has been created
especially in India. Besides there are a lot of changes happening in the
Tibetan struggle, but where change is expected especially in relation to
China, its getting worse, the hope is found only in the inside. The
Tibetan community is looking inside, and has called for an Emergency
Meeting this November where hundreds leaders, activists, thinkers with
meet and discuss the future of Tibet.

Alternative Law Forum (Nov 13, 2008)

by Alternative Law Forum, Bangalore. Entrance is Free.

Date: Thursday, November 13, 2008
Time: 6pm
Venue: Alternative Law Forum, No. 122/4 Infantry Road, Bangalore 560001

Tenzin Tsundue is an activist, poet and writer working on Tibetan freedom
for many years. Tenzin Tsundue joined Friends of Tibet (India) in 1999.
Since then he's been working with the organization as its General
Secretary. In January 2002 his profile peaked when he scaled scaffolding
to the 14th floor of the Oberoi Towers, in Mumbai, to unfurl a Tibetan
national flag and a banner down the hotel's facade which read 'Free
Tibet'. China's Premier Zhu Rongji was inside the hotel addressing a
conference of Indian business tycoons. The world's media featured this
feat and Indian police officials congratulated him in prison for standing
up for his rights. In April 2005 he repeated a similar stunning one-man
protest that captured the world's imagination while Chinese Prime Minister
Wen Jiabao was visiting India's tech capital, Bangalore. Tenzin won the
first-ever 'Outlook-Picador Award for Non-Fiction' in 2001.
