Tibetan Protests / by Zachary Krahmer

Tibetan Protestors travelled from as far away as their home to protest the arrival of current Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping this afternoon.  Earlier today, 3 men were arrested for rappelling off the Memorial Bridge and hanging a “Free Tibet” sign from the side. Over the past 2 years, 24 Tibetan protestors have self immolated in protests in Tibet. Protestors yelled and cheered to bring freedom to Tibet with the new 5th generation Chinese political leaders.
