Tibetan Association representatives said they plan to send about 470 members of their organization to the protest.

Harvard students said they expect their organizations to play a crucial role in the demonstrations.

"We believe that Harvard won't allow the Boston groups to demonstrate on Harvard grounds," said Sonia Inamdar '01, a member of Harvard Students for a Free Tibet. "We'll have to do a lot of recruiting."

"A lot of members have applied for the lottery to get tickets," said Katie Siegelman '99, the undergraduate leader of Harvard Students for a Free Tibet. "Hopefully, we will be involved in protests inside."

The Harvard branch of Amnesty International also plans to protest Jiang's speech, but the organization has yet to work out the details, according to Karen M. Paik '99, the co-president, who is also a Crimson editor.

The Free Burma Group is also said to be planning to protest, Paik said. The Kennedy School Alliance for Freedom and Democracy will be meeting to discuss protest plans next Tuesday
