SUGGESTED LEAD-IN:
Scuffles broke out between dozens of activists from the Tibetan Youth Congress tried to raid the Chinese embassy in New Delhi in protest of what they call the illegal occupation of their homeland by the Communist Chinese regime.
Some protesters were arrested by the police but were later released.
There are about 100-thousand Tibetan exiles living in India.
The exiles followed the Dalai Lama, the supreme Tibetan Buddhist leader, who fled Tibet after a failed 1959 revolt against Chinese rule.
VOICEOVER:
0002 Clashes erupt as a group of activists from the Tibetan Youth Congress try to take their protest into the Chinese embassy in New Delhi.
0010 Despite interception from the police they were determined to get their point across.
0014 UPSOUND: (English) We want freedom, we want freedom.
0018 The demonstrators had planned to storm the embassy compound.
0021 But instead they made the most of the media presence to denounce what they see as the Chinese occupation of their homeland.
0029 China occupied Tibet in 1950.
0031 Since then, reports of widespread human rights abuses have made Tibet a rallying cry for political activists worldwide.
0037 More than 1.2 million Tibetans (one fifth of the population) are said to have died as a result of Chinese oppression.
0045 Others went into exile and still hope to return.
0048 UPSOUND
0051 Burning a Chinese flag, this protestor's insistence ended in an arrest.
0055 Far from the Tibetan image of unerring passivity, the protest captured the anger of those so young they may never have set foot in their country of origin.
