Indian supporters join "Free Tibet - Sadda Haq!" rally

Indian supporters join the rally to call on the Censor Board of India to reverse its decision to censor the Tibetan flag from the much acclaimed song "Sadda Haq" in the upcoming film "Rockstar."

Students for a Free Tibet - India protest the controversial decision by Censor Board of India to remove the Tibetan flag and 'Free Tibet' banners from the film "Rockstar," which comes to theaters this Friday. In a shocking move by the Censor Board, director Imtiaz Ali was told to either delete blur the visual of the flag.

"For India, this is an issue of free speech; for Tibetans, this is an issue of survival," says Dorjee Tseten, director of SFT-India.

"It is extremely disturbing that such a grotesque violation of free speech is occurring in the world's largest democracy. By caving into Chinese pressure, the Censor Board is allowing China to threaten the freedom and liberties that Indians enjoy."
