A team of 11 bikers and four volunteers of Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC) embarked on a motorcycle rally to garner support and create awareness for Tibet’s freedom.

The rally was flagged from Bum-la Pass in Indo-Tibet border on 22 November by Bharat Tibet Sahyog Manch national general secretary Pankaj Goya. It will cover approximately 15000 km, passing through 22 states and a union territory.

The team arrived here in West Kameng district on Tuesday evening and went to the historic Khenzimane in Zemithang circle, the place where the 14th Dalai Lama set his feet during his escape from Tibet in 1959.

“The primary objective of the rally is to expose the atrocities committed by the Communist China in Tibet and to oppose its illegitimate rule,” TYC president Gonpo Dondup, said.

“We seek to draw the attention of the international community towards the ongoing cultural genocide in Tibet, where China is implementing hard-line policies designed to systematically eradicate Tibetan culture and identity,” Dondup said. Click here to read more.
