Rome, Italy: Peaceful Demonstration Coverage

Once again, Tibetan Shugden practitioners and members of the International Shugden Community (ISC), gathered in force for a peaceful demonstration in Rome, Italy, on the occasion of the 14th World Smmit of Nobel Peace Laureates.

The Dalai Lama is attending the three-day event and more than 300 Shugden Buddhists from all around the world congregated in Rome for the protests from 12th to 14th December 2014, to take a stance against the unjust discrimination towards Dorje Shugden practitioners, and to request the Dalai Lama to give religious freedom and lift the ban on the practice of this enlightened protector.

DorjeShugden.com has been closely following the protests organised by our fellow Shugdenpas to bring our readers this compilation of news, pictures and videos. Please do visit this post over the next few days as we continue to update this article with new photos and videos.
