- Tibetan core marchers continue their march to their homeland on the third day at Ranital around 40kms from Dharamsala on March 12, 2008. The 100 activists began their walk on March 10, 2008 as part of pro-independence protests ahead of the Beijing Olympics. They hope the march will highlight what they say are serious human rights violations in their Himalayan homeland. (Manan Vatsyayana, AFP/Getty Images) It is time, Chime Youngdung says, to walk home. "We are going to our homeland," the Tibetan man proclaimed in the hills outside Dharamsala, India, the spiritual center for Tibetan Buddhism. His head covered by a hat wet with sweat, his water bottle empty, he leads a group of Tibetan exiles who plan to walk 1,500 miles from northern India all the way to the Tibetan border. "We are here in India, but we are guests in India. And guests should go back one day." As Youngdung and the 50 or so men behind him, each in saffron robes, continued their six-month journey, Tibetans today continued their unprecedented protest against the Chinese authorities who took over Tibet more than 50 years ago. For the sixth straight day they massed in multiple cities throughout Tibet, according to their allies in India, and for the sixth straight day received the brunt of the Chinese military crackdown. They are leading the most significant demonstrations against Chinese rule in two decades. Tibetan exile groups accuse the Chinese government of killing at least 30 people and attacking protestors with bullets and tear gas. The Chinese claim 10 people have been killed. "It is almost all over Tibet," the Tibetan prime minister in exile, Samdhong Rinpoche, told ABC News from his office in Dharamsala. "The people are trying to voice their dissatisfaction [at] being brutally repressed." They are, he said, "fighting for freedom. Fighting for human rights. Fighting for Tibet identity." In the Tibetan capital today, troops and armored vehicles patrolled the streets. China has given the marchers an ultimatum: Stop by Monday night and we'll go easy on you. The alternative was not spelled out. "China has detained hundreds of Tibetans for peaceful protests this week in Lhasa and we are very concerned about their whereabouts and well-being," Lhadon Tethong, the executive director of Students for a Free Tibet, said in a statement from Dharamsala. "The situation demands immediate international attention and the Chinese government must be held accountable for its brutal crackdown on Tibetan protesters," Tethong said. click pic to continue

- Can you imagine somebody you know in the U.S. getting killed, killed by police, for walking in a protest? WALKING!?! This is sickening. Be aware. At the very least, send a letter. Express yourself because they cannot without great risk of bodily harm or even loss of life. Speak for Tibetan human rights, and Buddhist religious freedom.
