Over a thousand demonstrators marched through downtown Toronto Sunday in an emotional protest to demand freedom for Tibet and to draw attention to recent crackdowns by Chinese forces that have reportedly resulted in the deaths of over 100 Tibetans. With international attention focused on China and the upcoming Olympics in Beijing organizers called for Canadian politicians to boycott the opening ceremonies.

When I was at U of T in the 80s, I was wakened one morning by a demonstration walking up St. George Street to protest at the Chinese Consulate there. It was a "Free Tibet" demonstration and must have been around 1986. And thus began my political awakening ....
Too bad there has been little progress in the past 20 years.

Absolutely stunning photographs.
And yes, heartbreaking.
