Berlin : Around 400 demonstrators, among them many exiled Tibetans, protested against China’s ongoing security clampdown in Tibet, news reports said Wednesday.
The crowd carried banners calling for “Freedom in Tibet” and “Olympic peace – instead of repression”.
Speakers at the rally said German trade relations with China should be linked to improving the human rights situation of Tibetans.
Germany has been the scene of of anti-Chinese protests over the past weeks in the aftermath of the Tibetan crisis.
The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama who lives in exile in India, enjoys an almost rock star-like status in Germany.
Earlier this month, more than 900 German cities and towns raised the Tibetan flag to back the territory’s demand for cultural autonomy.
