Tibetans in Switzerland





Tibetans in exile

Keeping the Tibetan culture alive.
Switzerland is home to the biggest Tibetan community in Europe, numbering almost 4,000. They fled their homeland after the Chinese invasion in 1959. They are now preparing for a visit from their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, to mark the 50th anniversary of their arrival here. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)
