China’s human rights review concluded on Tuesday and it was a good day for Tibet!
We applaud the 20 UN Member States who raised Tibet, and in particular, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States for recommending China abolish the coercive boarding school system intended to forcibly assimilate Tibetan children.
This year saw more than double the number of recommendations about Tibet compared to China’s last review five years ago, showing governments are willing to hold Beijing accountable. The dramatic increase underscores the existential threat China’s assimilationist policies pose to the Tibetan people and shows that our advocacy is working. |
