Tibetans continue protest march despite police ban
Hundreds of Tibetan exiles defied police and resumed their six-month march from northern India to Tibet to protest Beijing's hosting of this summer's Olympic Games. The march began on 10 March 2008, Tibetan Uprising Day, the 49th anniversary of a failed uprising against Chinese rule that forced the Dalai Lama into exile. Tibetans around the world commemorated this day with pro-Tibet demonstrations and protests.
The exiled Tibetan marchers are reportedly determined to complete their journey despite being banned by police from leaving their area near Dharmsala, the northern Indian city that is seat of the Tibetan government in exile.
"The exile groups say China is attempting to stamp out Tibetan Buddhist culture and increase the government's presence in Tibet. Beijing maintains that Tibet is historically part of China."
Human rights groups and pro-Tibet groups are angry that the International Olympic Association allowed the Olympics to be hosted by a country they criticise for being repressive and torturous.

365 DAYS OF MARCHING - THE AMADOU DIALLO STORY
The streets of New York City have certainly witnessed its share of acts of civil disobedience, violence and rebellion. Dating back as far as the Draft Riots of 1863, very often, the disenfranchised would take to the streets when opposing the governments unfair policies and practices. Eight years ago when an unarmed African immigrant by the name of Amadou Diallo was shot at 41 times (hit 19 times) by 4 New York City Police Officers, the people took to the streets charging the NYPD with police brutality. Over the next two years that followed, a series of marches and protests was set into motion that would forever change the lives of New Yorkers. At its conceptual root, spearheaded by Rev Al Sharpton and the National Action Network, was the march for justice for Diallo. However, in the midst of the struggles a new breed of protestor began to emerge. Along the side of the activist stood politicians, students and professors, unions and laborers. The shout of No Justice - No Peace! What do we want? JUSTICE! Now became What do we want??BOOKS! HOUSING! JOBS! Diallos death became a symbol for justice on all fronts. 360 Media recounts this bitter and yet compelling part of New York City history in the upcoming documentary entitled 365 Days of Marching The Amadou Diallo Story DIRECTED, WRITTEN & PRODUCED by Veronica Keitt CO-PRODUCED BY Michael Drake, Ozzie Thompson, Nat Woods, Darryl Stith SPECIAL APPEARANCES by Rev Al Sharpton, Seiko & Kadiatou Diallo, the parents of Amadou Diallo, David N.
