Tibetan exiles in India held a candle light vigil today in the northern city of Kullu. They're stepping up activities protesting the Chinese communist regime ahead of the Olympic torch relay.

[Tanku, Tibetan Protester]:
"We are protesting against the atrocities committed by the Chinese authorities on the Tibetans. We are praying for those Tibetans who were killed and we are praying that their souls should rest in peace and whenever they take birth again, they can lead a peaceful life."

The torch relay has gone through London, Paris and San Francisco in recent days and has faced protesters demanding freedom for Tibet and an improvement of human rights in China.

The torch is scheduled to pass through the Indian capital of New Delhi on Thursday amidst tight security.
