They will not forget Tibet: SF protesters call attention to alleged human rights violations

SIXTY-EIGHT-YEAR-OLD Sumchhung was the first to arrive on the steps of the San Francisco City Hall this month for a rally to commemorate the 66th Tibetan Uprising Day.

In what has become an annual event, Sumchhung was among hundreds of Tibetans from the Bay Area who gathered for the March 10 memorial. Their goal was to bring attention to human rights abuses they say are widespread in Tibet under the Chinese government rule.
