Benny Shendo, Jr. joined with the Santa Fe Tibetan community in a candlelight vigil on the Plaza this evening. The vigil, which will be held each night this week, is intended to draw attention to recent events in Tibet as well as the long-standing need for justice in Tibet.
Participants walked in contemplative silence or chanted and sang, while displaying handmade signs calling for a "Free Tibet" and to "Stop Genocide in Tibet."
After the event, Benny reflected, "We need to stand with our brothers and sisters from Tibet who share the same longing we all have: for peace and justice and human rights for their homeland."
