Exiled Tibetans, local Indians and foreign visitors held a candlelight vigil in Dharamsala, India, last night, in response to the Chinese government's execution of four Tibetan prisoners near Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, on Tuesday.
The vigil was organised by the Tibetan Youth Congress, the Tibetan Women's Association, Gu Chu Sum Movement of Tibet, the National Democratic Party of Tibet and Students for a Free Tibet, who issued a joint statement calling the executions "an affront to international judicial standards" which was "clearly politically motivated."
