Tibetans Protest Against Hunter Dickinson/Continental Minerals Mining in Tibet
Seven members of Students for a Free Tibet and local Tibetan students staged a mock die-in at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada Mining Convention in Toronto. Targeting the Hunter Dickinson booth, they unfurled a fifteen foot long banner that read "HDI: Stop Mining in Tibet" and handed out flyers to the convention members while chanting "Tibet belongs to Tibetans," and "Hunter Dickinson: stop mining in Tibet." Outside, several hundred Tibetans braved the cold and protested at the entrance of the Metro Convention Centre for nearly four hours.
