The 33 Tibetans youth activists-in-exile in India have been released. They were arrested by Indian police for climbing over the walls of the capital's Chinese embassy. The New Delhi district court granted them bail against a bond of five thousand Rupees per detainee.
[B.K.Ohree, Defense Counsel]:
"We filed a bail application, bail of 33 people who were arrested for actual offense that is entering (the) Chinese embassy. And court was pleased to grant them bail, to release on bail of five thousand bond for each person with a surety."
The vice president of Tibetan Youth Congress, Dhondup Dorjee, was present in the court along with many other Tibetan supporters. Mr. Dorjee affirmed the activists resolve to carry on with their protests against the Chinese communist regime repressive policies in Tibet.
[Dhondup Dorjee, Tibetan Youth Congress]:
"We have very committed and dedicated members. Even those 33 (Tibetan protesters who were arrested on 21 March for scaling into the Chinese Embassy), it's not that they will come out on bail and vanish because their intention is to have more protests and take part in future demonstrations."
The Tibetan Youth Congress demands the Chinese Communist Party to stop using violence against peaceful Tibetan demonstrators, that all arrested Tibetans be released without condition and that the Chinese regime stop cultural genocide inside Tibet.
