Tibetans demonstrate in front of the United Nations headquarters, on March 31, 1959 in New-York, to support Tibetan people. The 1959 Tibetan uprising, or 1959 Tibetan Rebellion began on 10 March 1959, when an anti-Chinese and anti-Communist revolt erupted in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, which had been under the reign of the Communist Party of China since the Invasion of Tibet in 1950. The Dalai Lama and some 80,000 refugees fled to neighbouring countries. (Photo credit should read -/AFP/Getty Images)
