Taipei, March 10 (CNA) A group of Tibetans on Sunday called for more international support to help end decades of Chinese oppression in Tibet during a parade in Taipei to mark the 60th anniversary of an uprising against Chinese rule in 1959.

Citing a statement by Tibetan political leader, Lobsang Sangay, earlier in the day, Dawa Tsering, who represents the Tibetan government in exile in Taiwan, called upon “freedom-loving people of the world to commit to end oppression in Tibet and to commit to fight against impunity.”

“To Tibetan people everywhere, let us continue our commitment to struggle for justice. Let us continue to strengthen our resilience so we can be united with our brothers and sisters in Tibet in freedom,” Dawa Tsering said during his address before the parade began.

Dawa Tsering was quoting the address by Lobsang Sangay, president of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), made earlier in the day in India on the 60th anniversary of a Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule.    [FULL  STORY]
