Tibet govt calls for anti-China protests to stop amid crisis
The Tibetan government-in-exile has asked for a temporary stop to protests against China as the country grapples with the aftermath of an earthquake that has killed 40,000 and left millions more homeless.
A statement on the website of the Tibetan government-in-exile based in northern India said “in order to express our solidarity with the great natural disaster that befell on China, Tibetans across the world should shun staging demonstrations in front of the Chinese embassies in the respective host countries they live in”.
