Tibetan flag flies high outside council/ENG

History was made this morning when the Tibetan flag was raised outside Blue Mountains Council chambers at Katoomba.

It is the first time in Australia a Tibetan flag has been flown outside a local council chamber.

The small but vocal Tibetan community cheered and sang their national song as Dhongdue Kyinzom, a member of the Tibetan parliament-in-exile and Cr Kerry Brown did the honours.

It was Cr Brown who moved the motion in council last September to hold the ceremony, which marked the 60th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising against the Chinese invasion.

Councillors voted unanimously in favour of the motion to show support for the Tibetan people, including the refugees who now live in the Mountains, by raising the flag this week and in all future years.

Dhongdue Kyinzom said it was "truly a remarkable day. I have been in Australia for 12 years and this is the time time I am able to join a ceremony like this. It's absolutely beautiful.

"It sends a message to the Tibetans across Australia and those inside Tibet that our struggle has not been forgotten.

"Tibet is occupied but it is unconquered," she said.

Local Tibetan leader, Samzin, thanked the councillors and Mountains residents for supporting the cause and promised her fellow countrymen and women would continue to fight for a free Tibet.
