MYSORE: Hundreds of Tibetans staged a dharna in front of the deputy commissioner's office on Wednesday.
The dharna was organized by the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress and Regional Tibetan Women's Association of Bylakuppe Tibetan settlement.
The protesters alleged that the situation in
Tibet has reached a breaking point and things will not improve unless the world community steps in.
Despite massive protests, the China has intensified political repression, they alleged. Their demands include immediate end to political repression in Tibet, implementation of recommendations made by the UN agencies, including sending an independent fact-finding delegation to Tibet and release of all Tibetan political prisoners.
An indefinite relay hunger strike at Bylakuppe will be held on Thursday. Tibetans from all walks of life will sit in dharna in solidarity with Tibetans who have self immolated for the cause and those are still jailed.
