Ethnic Tibetan women hold banners which read "50 years of genocide 1959-2009" during a protest against Chinese rule in Tibet, in central Barcelona, March 28, 2009. China declared March 28 as an annual holiday in Tibet earlier this year, marking the date in 1959 when Chinese troops took direct control of the government in Lhasa after being brought in to quell an uprising.
