Stop violating human rights in Tibet: Activist tells China ahead of Tibetan Uprising Day
A Tibetan activist has said it is time for China to stop violating human rights in Tibet and restore total respect for Tibetans’ cultural identity and freedom of religion.
"Chinese atrocities against Tibetans continue relentlessly since that day, targeting the free exercise of religion, the basic respect for human dignity, and the ability to use Tibetan language and preserve Tibetan cultural identity," Tashi Samdup, the former secretary of the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress, Vijayawada Chapter (AP), India, and advisor and ex-secretary of the Tibetan Community of Italy, wrote in an article published in Bitter Winter.
"The staggering fate of Tibetan lay Buddhist girls and nuns routinely raped in reeducation camps, just like Muslim women in Xinjiang, shows the routinized cruelty of the CCP policy against cultural identities, religious groups, and ethnic minorities. It seems as if in Tibet the horrors of the Cultural Revolution are not over yet," he said.
He wrote the article ahead of the Tibetan Uprising Day. It is observed on Mar 10.
The event commemorates the 1959 Tibetan uprising against the presence of the People's Republic of China in Tibet.
