HIGH TECH TIBET PROTEST IN NEW YORK!

By Nick Gulotta

Students for a Free Tibet (SFT) marked International Human Rights Day with a high tech demonstration at the Chinese consulate in New York City.

At 5pm, SFT members projected a video entitled Beijing We Are Ready as well as the Team Tibet logo onto the side of the Chinese consulate.

The protesters also delivered a giant Human Rights Report Card to the consulate, which was received by consulate security. The report card declared that China was a human rights failure. 

“China gets an F for Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Expression, and Freedom of Assembly,” said Kalaya’an Mendoza, SFT’s Grassroots Coordinator, pointing at the giant report card. “And for Human Rights in Tibet, China gets an F minus.” The crowd chanted, “Shame on China!” 

The hi-tech protest followed a 200-person protest march organized by the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress of New York and New Jersey. The RTYC protest march started at the United Nations, passing through Times Square and concluding at the Chinese consulate.
