Statement of His Holiness the Dalai Lama on the 51st Anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising Day
Today marks the 51st anniversary of the Tibetan people's peaceful uprising in 1959 against Communist China's repression in Tibet, as well as the second anniversary of the peaceful protests that erupted across Tibet in March 2008. On this occasion, I pay homage to those heroic Tibetan men and women, who sacrificed their lives for the cause of Tibet, and pray for an early end to the sufferings of those still oppressed in Tibet.

KALON TRIPA ELECTION REFORM
After the latest 9th dialogue, Zhu Weiqun, Vice-Minister of the United Front of China, in his usual vitriolic press conference, had the audacity to state that "the so-called 'Tibet government-in-exile' is utterly illegal. It can neither represent Tibet nor the Tibetan people." (Xinhua, 1, Feb. 2010) We have to prove this statement wrong. Fortunately, there is an upcoming opportunity. Every vote cast in the next Kalon Tripa election will directly challenge Zhu Weiqun and the Chinese government and demonstrate that the Tibetan government in exile is not only legitimate but moving towards a consolidated democracy.
