Kullu: Tibetans on Tuesday marked 67th anniversary of the Lhasa uprising of 1959 by holding peace marches at various places in Himachal Pradesh, even as the Tibetan govt-in-exile released a statement accusing China of unleashing "horrifying devastation in Tibet"

The statement said more than two million Tibetans had met with untimely death in the last 77 years following China's invasion of Tibet in 1949.

"The Chinese govt remained relentless in destroying the religious, cultural, and linguistic heritage and other characteristic features of the Tibetan people that define the Tibetan national identity," said the statement.
