A demonstration will be held at 9am at Parliament House in Canberra on the 24th of April to coincide with the arrival of the Olympic torch.”Resistance calls for the Chinese government to stop its violent oppression of Tibetan people. More than a thousand Tibetans have been detained since recent protests for self-determination began on March 10. A further 500 people of the Uighur nationality have also been detained following protests in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region on March 23 and 24.
