A Fight For Freedom: Tibetans Protest Against CCP In Vienna On National Uprising Day

A massive protest was held by the Tibetans on the occasion of the National Uprising Day on Friday in front of the Chinese Embassy against the Chinese Communist Party in Vienna, Austria.

The Tibetan Uprising Day commemorates the 1959 Tibetan uprising against the presence of the People’s Republic of China in the Tibetan region.

Tibetans protest

Taking notes from the protest, it started at 10.00 hr and continued till 11.00 hr. Almost 150 Tibetan diaspora members participated in the protest.

A peaceful march was held from the Chinese embassy to Stephanplatz, Vienna at 11.00 hr. At Stephanplatz, a one-hour demonstration against the atrocities committed by CCP in Tibet was highlighted and anti-China pamphlets were distributed.

Several senior community members spoke about the current situation of the country and how the CCP is executing minorities in China and suppressing basic human rights including freedom of speech, worship and the right to protest.

During the protest, the diaspora was led by President Nawang Lobsang Taglung. A Vienna-based NGO Voices against Autocracy also supported this protest and its members participated in this demonstration.

Fight for freedom will continue: Nawang

Moreover, anti-CCP posters and the Tibetan flag were carried out by the protesters in order to raise their voices against injustice and demanded human rights for Tibetans.

President Nawang said that the fight for freedom in Tibet will continue in future.

A gratitude & appreciation to India: Kashag

Meanwhile, Kashag (Central Tibetan Administration) issued a statement on the 64th anniversary of Tibetan National Uprising Day and expressed the Tibetan people’s sincere gratitude and appreciation to India for providing them with a second home and its unwavering support as well as to the United States and other Governments, Parliamentary Tibet Support Groups including the newly-formed Parliamentary Tibet Support Groups in Mexico and Spain following the Eighth World Parliamentarians’ Convention on Tibet, Tibet Support Groups and individuals who supported truth and justice.

Further, the statement said, “On this solemn occasion, we remember and honour our compatriots and martyrs who have given their lives for the cause of Tibet. We stand in solidarity with their family members and with those who are still suffering under the oppression of the PRC`s occupation.”

Tibetan loss by the Chinese invasion

Approx 1.2 million Tibetans were killed during the Chinese Communist Government invasion of Tibet. More than 6,000 monasteries were destroyed as well as deforestation and destruction of wildlife and exploitation of mineral resources.

In the name of combating separatism and maintaining social stability, China is ruling every single movement of Tibetans with measures more draconian than the time of the Cultural Revolution.

Recently, last month, “Regulations on Network and Information Security” in TAR came into force. It tasked government departments, and state and public organs above the county level to monitor and control information on the internet. According to the regulation, it criminalizes even forming and participating in social media groups with “separatist forces.”
