DHARAMSALA, 31 July: Tibetans shaved their heads outside the United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York on Thursday in a symbolic act of sacrifice as part of an ongoing series of protests organised by the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress (RTYC) following the self-immolation of Pawo (Martyr) Lobga Rangzen. The demonstrators called on the United Nations to end its silence over Tibet and respond to what they described as China’s colonial rule in occupied Tibet.
