Bern, Switzerland (TSR, Fre) – Fifty years ago today the Dalai Lama fled Tibet, starting an exodus of refugees who today number 123,000 throughout the world. The second largest group of Tibetans in exile, outside Asia, lives in Switzerland. Some 2,000 marched in Bern today, to the Chinese embassy not long after the Dalai Lama made a speech in India that garnered world media attention.
