Today marked the 49th anniversary of the 1959 national uprising in Tibet and the beginning of the 5-month march of Tibetans returning home. Over 100 marchers set off from the Tsuglakhang, here in Dharamsala, followed by thousands of supporters. As they marched, Tibetans in Greece lit the Tibetan Freedom Torch at the archaeological site of ancient Olympia. And as the marchers settled in to their evening campsite, protests were starting up in North America.
