Raise a Flag for Tibet
By Kusang Tenzin and Sophie Jay
May 2008 Issue of Contact Magazine: A Dharamsala Community Publication


  A new McLeod Ganj organization staged a powerful exhibition to show the flag for the Tibetan cause. The not-for-profit Raise Tibetan Flags Campaign (RTFC) organized in response to last month’s violence in Lhasa, held the fundraising Peace Exhibition, comprising paintings and photographs by Tibetan and western artists at the Tibet Museum between April 6 – 19.

RTFC, which aims to highlight the Tibetan cause by raising as many flags as possible around the world, was formed last month by Wen King, 23, from Taiwan/USA, and founder and director of the Rogpa Charitable Trust, Tenzing Jamyang. The pair has already distributed over 5,000 flags in the town.

Mr. Jamyang said, “This flag is filled with blood. If you carry this flag in Tibet, you will be shot down by the Chinese army. Even if you put it in your cupboard, and your house is searched, you will be in very deep trouble. This flag is beautiful, and it is very dangerous to raise in Tibet, but raising just one Tibetan flag in other parts of the world shows the people of Tibet that we are standing with them. It pays homage to those who have risked their lives and are still languishing in prison.” Read the full article >
