  • The Tibetan National Emblem His Holiness the Dalai Lama Said
    The Tibetan National Emblem His Holiness the Dalai Lama said.. “Change is also coming to the Tibetan political system. It is unfortunate that it happens in exile, but this does not stop us learning the art of democracy. I have long looked forward to the time when we could devise a political system, suited both to our traditions and the demands of the modern world. Since we came into exile, we have tried to build up the Chithue, the elected assembly of representatives, as a key feature of our effort to develop such a system. We are now embarking on changes which will further democratise and strengthen our administration in exile. I hope that these changes will allow the people of Tibet to have a clear say in determining the future of our country. It is therefore a matter of great pride to me that last month the Tibetan exiles went to the polls for the eleventh time to elect a new assembly of representatives . Already since the special Congress held last May, the members of the Kashag, the executive head of our administration, are elected officials, no longer appointed by me. This democratisation has reached out to Tibetans all over the world . I believe that future generations of Tibetans will consider these changes among the most important achievement of our experience in exile.” House of Commons All-Party Parliamentary Group, London March 21, 1991 “There is one big change. Immediately after coming into exile, we started the process of democratisation of Tibetan society. I deliberately reduced my own power.

The work expresses the dual hope that the self-immolators’ sacrifice will lead to their religious realization of ultimate reality, through burning away ignorance, and also ‘burn away’ the conventional reality of oppression.

  • International Campaign for TIBET
    international campaign for TIBET annual report 2003 message from the president n September 1987 I happened to be in Lhasa with a friend when an uprising took place. I managed to capture historic Iphotos of thousands of Tibetans bravely demonstrating in the streets. Hundreds of them were arrested, and I remember seeing many of their scared faces in the back of military jeeps as they were driven off to be interrogated. Then, our turn came. We were pushed into the back of a jeep, and I vividly remember the faces of Tibetans peering in at us as we were driven off. During three days of interrogation, the officials were not so interested in why we carried “subversive” literature, such as a book by the Dalai Lama, or why we had taken pictures of the demonstration. They were more practical; they wanted names of Tibetans who we had met and talked to so that they could be arrested. They also demanded to know if we believed Tibet had His Holiness been an independent country and if we were willing to defend the Dalai Lama our position. receives assur- I was scared and did not stand up for my beliefs. I wanted my ances of support from President passport back. I wanted to leave Tibet with the rolls of film that George W. Bush, I had hidden after the demonstration. It is humbling to think September 10, of the many Tibetans who stood up to their interrogators while 2003. being tortured, and stuck to their beliefs. Because I was a western tourist, I was one of the lucky few who was not tortured.

  • 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, XINJIANG, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary Reports on Hong Kong, Macau, and Tibet are appended at the end of this report. Given the scope and severity of reported religious freedom violations specific to Xinjiang this year, a separate section on the region is also included in this report. The constitution states citizens have freedom of religious belief but limits protections for religious practice to “normal religious activities” and does not define “normal.” The government continued to exercise control over religion and restrict the activities and personal freedom of religious adherents when the government perceived these as threatening state or Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interests, according to nongovernmental organization (NGO) and international media reports. Only religious groups belonging to one of the five state-sanctioned “patriotic religious associations” (Buddhist, Taoist, Muslim, Catholic, and Protestant) are permitted to register with the government and officially permitted to hold worship services. There continued to be reports of deaths in custody and that the government tortured, physically abused, arrested, detained, sentenced to prison, or harassed adherents of both registered and unregistered religious groups for activities related to their religious beliefs and practices. Multiple media and NGOs estimated that since April 2017, the government detained at least 800,000 and up to possibly more than 2 million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and members of other Muslim groups, mostly Chinese citizens, in specially built or converted detention facilities in Xinjiang and subjected them to forced disappearance, torture, physical abuse, and prolonged detention without trial because of their religion and ethnicity.
