MARCH 7th TIBET DEMO
chaiwallah Started conversation Mar 4, 2004
March 10th is the Tibetan festival of Monlam, remembered particularly as the anniversary of the day in 1959 when the Chinese opened fire on the crowds surrounding the Dalai Lama's residence in Lhasa. And again in 1987 and 1989 when there were spontaneous demonstrations against Chinese oppression, and again the Chinese shot into the unarmed crowds.
This year a demonstration is being held in London on Sunday March 7th, 1.30pm, Portland Place, outside the Chinese Embassy, marching from there to the Foreign Office. If you're around, and can spare the time and enthusiasm, come along. I'll be there,
Cheers,
Chaiwallah.

Sorry Chai, but I am otherwise engaged on the running a motorway through Stonehenge World Heritage Site issue.
Blessings on your day,

And indeed, blessings on your work, Math. It is simply inconceivable that a motorway should be allowed within a mile of Stonehenge.
Cheers,
Chai

Hi Chai,
I intend to publish a full account of their plough it up and destroy agenda in my journal shortly.
Do I sound a teensy-weensy bit biased to you?
Blessings,
