This day the Tibetan Yout Congress proudly and loudly declares to the world in general and to China in particular that even in future the three slogans will not only keep Tibet alive, but restore its independence.

Howver, today as the Tibetan across the country marked the day, Dalai Lama has announced his decision to step down. It was this day that several thousands of Tibetans surrounded the Dalai Lama's palace to prevent him from leaving or removed. The huge crowd had gathered in response to the rumour that the Chinese communists were planning to arrest the Dali Lama when he went to a cultural performance at the PLA's headquarters.
