The “Flame of truth” Relay, an outcome of the discussion held by the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile in March, was proposed to seek the United Nation’s intervention regarding the worsening human rights situation inside Tibet.
The global torch relay will begin on 6th of July on the 77th birthday of the Dalai Lama from Leh-Ladakh, and travel across hundreds of cities around the world. It will go on till the World Human Rights Day on December 10th, with the submission of appeal letters and thousands of signatures simultaneously to the UN Headquarters in New York City, UN Human Rights Council in Geneva and UN information office in New Delhi.
The Tibetan parliament on Wednesday issued a press release stating that the Relay will be carried out in solidarity with the courageous and selfless acts of the Tibetans and to make the world aware of their acts.
