Tibetans protest at Chinese Embassy in London
(Phayul) 100 Tibetans and their supporters, including four former Tibetan nun political prisoners, gathered in front of the Chinese Embassy in London to show their support for the latest political protests being held across Tibet. The protests were very similar to many held across the world. Several Tibetan youths tried to storm the Chinese Embassy but the British police were swift to restrain the angry activists. Calling for the international community's support, Tenzin Samphel, Chairperson of the Tibetan Community in Britain said: "We call upon the international community, especially the British Government, to put pressure on the Chinese Government to commit to dialogue to find real solution to the Tibetan issue peacefully".
