Tibetan Uprising Day, observed on March 10,〔 Congressional Record: March 10, 2004 (Senate). Page S2538-S2539.〕〔Iyer 2008, pg. 225〕 commemorates the 1959 Tibetan uprising against the presence of the People's Republic of China in Tibet. The failure of the armed rebellion ultimately resulted in a violent crackdown on Tibetan independence movements, and the flight of the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso into exile. Tibetan Uprising Day is observed primarily by organizations and individuals who support Tibet such as Students for a Free Tibet, and is often accompanied by the release of a statement by the Dalai Lama.〔(10th March Statements Archive )〕〔(His Holiness The Dalai Lama's 10 March 1999 Statement )〕 Tibetan independence groups often organize protests or campaigns on March 10th to draw attention to the situation in Tibet. In 2008, a series of riots and violent clashes broke out in the Tibetan city of Lhasa when monks were arrested during peaceful demonstrations. The events in Lhasa triggered a nationwide uprising with protests occurring in every region. The Central Tibetan Administration estimates the number of Protests to have occurred in 2008 to be 336. ==Organizations that commemorate the day== * Wisconsin Legislature * City Government of Kaohsiung * Students for a Free Tibet 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tibetan Uprising Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
