Miss TibetNo Miss Tibet Pageant 2012
MCLEOD GANJ, India, 2 May 2012 (MissTibet.com)
I write with profound sadness for the tense situation in Tibet, as is evident from the 34 cases of self-immolation since March 2011: I have decided to forgo this year’s Miss Tibet Pageant.
With the lives of many Tibetans at stake, the very grim current circumstances leave no room for pageantry and celebrations.
I take this opportunity to remember and pay homage to those who have died for the Tibetan cause, and stand in solidarity with all the Tibetans in Tibet.
With prayers,
Lobsang Wangyal
Director
