Victoria

Victoria's commemoration of the 1959 uprising will be held on Saturday, March 8, beginning at 12:30 PM at Centennial Square and walking to the Provincial Legislature for a 1:00 rally.

March 10 is symbolically recognized by Tibetans as the anniversary of the day Tibet was lost to China in 1959. On March 10, 1959, thousands of Tibetans revolted against the Chinese administration as a result of the oppression and systematic brutality they were experiencing under the Chinese military occupation. As a result of the popular uprising, crushed by the Chinese military, thousands were killed and many thousands more forced into Chinese labour camps. It was during this uprising that His Holiness the Dalai Lama and fellow Tibetans escaped into exile where they have worked tirelessly since to reach common ground with the Government of China.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
