Pictures from the Rose Bowl Parade
On January 1st 2008 I went along with a handful of my SFT friends to camp out on the cold streets of Pasadena, California to protest the Beijing 2008 Float that featured my stolen image and also sadly had Tibetans from Tibet dressed up in sensationalized Tibetan costumes. We were there protesting with other organizations ranging from the Falun Gong to Chinese Democracy activists to Darfur organizers. Here is a photo journal of our trip.
two hardcore SFT’ers being interviewed in front of China’s Olympic Float the night before the Rose Bowl Parade.
Due to security concerns they had to hide the float the night before the parade. this is the first time EVER in the parades history where they had to do this.
This is how Freedom Fighters ring in the New Year. Freezing, on the streets and ready to protest!
here is one of my SFT friends doing some pre-parade awareness.
Here are more pictures of SFT’ers doing a pre-parade march at 2 in the morning.
These are pictures of true dedication.
That is Acha Nono-la resting in her sleeping bag. On the street, freezing.
Hey friends! I have to run out of this internet cafe I am in, I just got a call from a friend in Tibet, this post will be continued….
Peace and Freedom,
Yingsel
