Five leading Tibetan organizations have launched the "Tibetan People's Uprising Movement", a new, coordinated Tibetan resistance effort, in the lead up to the Beijing Olympics.

At a press conference in New Delhi, the presidents of the five organizations announced a return march of Tibetan exiles to their homeland. The march will start from Dharamsala, India on March 10th, 2008, the 49th commemoration of the Tibetan National Uprising in Tibet. They also appealed to Tibetans everywhere to join a global uprising during China's Olympic torch relay and the Games themselves.
