More than 100 Tibetan exiles have begun a march from India to Tibet to protest against Chinese rule in the region. The marchers left Dharamsala on the 49th anniversary of the Dalai Lama's escape from Tibet after a failed uprising against Chinese rule.
The Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader, has called for greater pressure on China over its human rights record.
Tibet activists are hoping to use China's hosting of the Olympics to publicise their cause.
