Stand up for Tibet

Australian Tibet Council has organised a peaceful protest today in Martin Place against alleged brutal military crackdown against Tibet by Chinese government. The council is clear: Australian Olympic Committee should boycott carrying of the torch up Mount Everest. Interestingly the message did not call for the total boycott of the Olympics in Beijing.

The photograph shows news cameraman filming gathered protesters, their posters and gruesome photographs of torture victims.

Today I came across a group of people promoting an upcoming visit of Dalai Lama to Australia. Authentic Tibetans in authentic folklore based outfits. They were a bit shy and obviously a bit overwhelmed by the attention but agreed to pose for a few portraits, for which I am very greatful.

Dalai Lama will visit Australia in June / July 2007 and will conduct many conferences in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
