On March 10, about 200 people marched eight miles from Amherst to Northampton. They were calling for human rights for people in Tibet. Amnesty International last year criticized China for interfering in Tibetan religious practices as the Dalai Lama announced his succession plan. The group said last year that, as of 2024, “school closures by the Chinese government threatened Tibetan culture and language.” That quote is from:
