Tomorrow marks the 62nd anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan uprising, remembered every 10th March by Tibetans and their supporters.
We may not be able to march to the Chinese embassy and let them hear our voices in person but we can still let them know that Tibetans, and their supporters, will not be silenced.
At 10am, Free Tibet will broadcast the Tibetan uprising commemoration video via Facebook. The broadcast will feature a number of speakers including former political prisoner Golog Jigme.
You don't need an account to watch the broadcast on Facebook and the video will remain on Facebook, and will also be available to watch on our YouTube channel, after 10am.
Raise the Tibetan national flag and take a photo, wherever you are. Post it to your social media, tagging @FreeTibetOrg and using #March10 and #TibetanUprisingDay
Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook accounts throughout the day to see events from around the world. Sharing our posts will help us to reach an even bigger audience.
Tibet Lobby Week
The week following 10 March is known as Tibet Lobby Week.
During this week we are encouraging supporters in the UK to contact their Member of Parliament to talk to them about Tibet. This is a key opportunity for supporters to stand up for Tibet and send a strong message to the government urging them to take substantive action.
This could be a face to face meeting with your MP at Westminster or in their home constituency. It could also be via a letter or an email.
This year we have two main requests for MPs:
1. To urge the Foreign Office to target Chen Quanguo with sanctions
2. To call for a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing 2022 Winter Games
We are also encouraging MPs to join the All Party Parliamentary Group for Tibet
