Guided by a Manpa (traditional physician), the public go to bathe in hot springs or receive the Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa in a clinic or a Tibetan medical hospital. In our village, everyone thinks that this element is a treasure from our ancestors and thus should be passed down generation after generation. In our daily life, we care about safeguarding water resources such as hot springs; we follow the tradition of respecting proper timing, place and amount in gathering medicinal herbs, and volunteer to participate in relevant practices during the Karma Dulpa Festival. After learning about the nomination of the element for inscription on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the UNESCO, the villagers shared the news with each other and provided much assistance to the investigations and surveys by relevant experts. Now, all villagers are approving and supporting the villagers’ committee in the work for the nomination. Villagers’ Committee, Ganchu Village, Ganchu Town, Lhundrup County, Tibet Autonomous Region (sealed) 4 5 6 Letter of Consent January 13, 2017 In the course of more than a century, the Kyina Drangsong Duling Tibetan Medical Hospital of Tashilunpo Monastery has laid its foundation during the life time of Thubten Chokyi Nyima, the Ninth Panchen Lama, and has been expanded by Lobsang Trilai Lhundrub Chokyi Gyaltsen, the Tenth Panchen Lama. Having inherited the traditional Tibetan medical knowledge system represented by the Gyud zhi (the Four Tantras), our hospital has long been committed to the transmission and practice of the Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa, bringing auspiciousness and health to the people. The element is based on the knowledge and practice of Jungwa Nga (five elements) as view of life and the Nyepa Sum (three dynamics) as views of health and illness. Our hospital has given prior and informed consent to the element nomination for inscription on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the UNESCO. We will definitely continue to make great efforts for its transmission. We hope that the nomination of the element will be successful and bring benefits to more people. Kyina Drangsong Duling Tibetan Medical Hospital of Shigatse Tashi Lhunpo Monastery (sealed) 7 8 9 Letter of Consent January 7, 2017 Since the Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa is a practice of the community, our villagers’ committee held a villagers’ representative conference and reached an agreement on the following statement: 1. The Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa is an element of intangible cultural heritage closely connected with our life. 2. Khar Semo Villagers have been given prior information about the nomination of the element for inscription on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the UNESCO. 3. Khar Semo Villagers consent to the element’s nomination for inscription on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the UNESCO. Khar Semo Villagers’ Committee, Nyingtri Town, Dragyib District, Nyingtri City (sealed) 10 11 12 Letter of Consent January 15, 2017 By combining the geological environment with humanistic tradition developed in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa embodies the Tibetan people’ views on life, health, and illness. As the crystallization of ancestors’ wisdom, it plays an important role in safeguarding a healthy life and preventing and treating illness. Recognized for its green, economic, convenient, and safe practice, the nominated element is widely applied around the area of Tsoshar City. We give our prior and informed consent to the nomination of the Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa for inscription on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the UNESCO. In future, we will continue to safeguard and transmit the element. Villagers’ Committee, Sumdo Village, Sumdo Tibetan Township, Hudru Hor Tu Autonomous County, Tsoshar City (sealed) 13 14 15 Letter of Consent January 8, 2017 The Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa has a long history, multiform practices, and rich ancient literatures. It is regarded as a living intangible cultural heritage with embedded knowledge and practices concerning life, health, and illness prevention and treatment among the Tibetan People. It has played an important role in our daily life and healthcare, balancing the mind and body of peoples living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We are informed of and consent to the nomination of the Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa for inscription on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the UNESCO. Since the element is a symbol of the wisdom of our ancestors, we, the community practitioners of the element, bear the due responsibilities for the transmission and safeguarding. We wish the nomination a big success. Villagers’ Committee, Akong Village, Chushar Township, Trika County (sealed) 16 17 18 Letter of Consent January 14, 2017 Guided by such views as the Jungwa Nga (five elements) and the Nyepa Sum (three dynamics), the Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa embodies the knowledge and practices concerning life, health, and illness prevention and treatment which have been accumulated in the specific environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the “Roof of the World.” As a vital embodiment of the wisdom and creativity of the Tibetan people, the element is widely transmitted in the vast area around Malho, playing an important role in ensuring the health of the people. Informed of the nomination of the Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa for inscription on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the UNESCO, our villagers’ committee widely collected opinions of the villagers who unanimously consent to and support the nomination. We wish the nomination a success. Villagers’ Committee, Loncho Village, Loncho Township, Thunrin County (sealed) 19 20 21 Letter of Consent January 8, 2017 Located in western Tsochil Township, Tsojang Prefecture of Qinghai Province, our village has a Tibetan medicinal bathing pool. In leisure time, villagers always like to take a bath there under the guidance of the village Manpa (traditional physician), so as to balance body and mind. Passed down generation from generation in our village, the Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa has become an integral part of our daily life. We’re more than willing to give this Letter of Consent to support the nomination of the Lum Medicinal Bathing of Sowa Rigpa for inscription on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the UNESCO. We do hereby declare that we have given prior, informed consent to the nomination of the element. In the future, we will better safeguard the element we cherished.

  • 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, XINJIANG, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary Reports on Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Xinjiang are appended at the end of this report. The constitution, which cites the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, states that citizens have freedom of religious belief but limits protections for religious practice to “normal religious activities” and does not define “normal.” Despite Chairman Xi Jinping’s decree that all members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must be “unyielding Marxist atheists,” the government continued to exercise control over religion and restrict the activities and personal freedom of religious adherents that it perceived as threatening state or CCP interests, according to religious groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international media reports. The government recognizes five official religions – Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism. Only religious groups belonging to the five state- sanctioned “patriotic religious associations” representing these religions 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, subjected to forced indoctrination in CCP ideology, or harassed adherents of both registered and unregistered religious groups for activities related to their religious beliefs and practices. There were several reports of individuals committing suicide in detention, or, according to sources, as a result of being threatened and surveilled. In December Pastor Wang Yi was tried in secret and sentenced to nine years in prison by a court in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in connection to his peaceful advocacy for religious freedom.

  • Ethnic Minorities in Custody
    Ethnic Minorities In Custody Following is a list of prisoners from China's ethnic minority groups who are believed to be currently in custody for alleged political crimes. For space reasons, this list for the most part includes only those already convicted and sentenced to terms of imprisonment. It also does not include death sentences, which are normally carried out soon after sentencing unless an appeal is pending. The large majority of the offenses involve allegations of separatism or other state security crimes. Because of limited access to information, this list must be con- sidered incomplete and only an indication of the scale of the situation. In addition, there is conflicting information from different sources in some cases, including alternate spellings of names, and the information presented below represents a best guess on which informa- tion is more accurate.

GE.12-10867 A/HRC/19/NGO/114 Severe restrictions on religious freedom and freedom of expression in the Tibetan autonomous region and adjacent areas where Tibetans live The human rights situation in the Tibet Autonomous Region and adjacent areas where Tibetans live continues to remain a major concern. Spate of self-immolation protests since 2009 and demonstrations in the Tibet Autonomous Region and adjacent areas where Tibetans live defy the position of the Chinese government that the Tibetan Autonomous Region and adjacent areas where Tibetans live are stable. Arbitrary arrests, detentions and imprisonments have continued throughout the Tibetan Autonomous Region and adjacent areas where Tibetans live. Intensive patriotic re- education sessions pressuring the Buddhist monks and nuns to study communist ideologies and denounce their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama have exacerbated rather than calmed the volatile situation. Tibetans are increasingly but peacefully showing their resistance to the continued suppression by the Chinese authorities. Kirti monastery in the Sichuan province, Nyitso monastery and Mamae Dechen Chokhorling nunnery, and Karma monastery are the four places where self-immolation protests took place.

  • Violations by the People's Republic of China Against the People of Tibet
    Racial Discrimination in the Tibetan Autonomous Region and other Tibetan areas in the People’s Republic of China A Report Submitted to the UNITED NATIONS COMMITTEE ON THE ELIMINATION OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION On Violations by the People’s Republic of China against the People of Tibet Submitted By Society for Threatened Peoples P.O.Box 2024 D-37010 Göttingen Tel.: +49-551-49906-0 Fax: +49-551-58028 Email: [email protected] June 2009 09292\1953823.1 09292\1953823.1 2 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Report evaluates the Peoples Republic of China’s compliance with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (“CERD”)1 with respect to the Tibetan people in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) and other Tibetan areas in PRC. This Report will address those issues relevant to Tibet in light of China’s Tenth-Thirteenth Periodic Report and evidence regarding the actual situation in TAR and other Tibetan areas. The breadth of the Committee’s concerns and approach to the causes and consequences of racial discrimination are appropriate and consistent with the experience of the Tibetan people. This Report demonstrates that discrimination by the Chinese government and people against the Tibetan people still is persisting. The report highlights the continuing population transfer of Chinese settlers into Tibet; efforts to exploit Tibet’s natural resources for the benefit of China; and the perceived need to assimilate Tibetans culturally in order to control them politically. China’s conduct in Tibet not only violates key provisions of the CERD, it has also failed to respond to or make substantial progress in the areas of concern expressed by this Committee in its 2001 Concluding Observations.

  • ICT Prisoner File
    ICT Prisoner File This document accompanies the list of prisoners detailed in ICT’s latest prisoner list, which is updated regularly. The prisoner list at http://www.savetibet.org/files/documents/2009-03- 08_Prisoner_list_FULL.pdf includes only Tibetans detained after March 2008, but the document below includes cases of Tibetans sentenced before then. ICT has been able to identify more than 600 people who have been detained since protests began across the Tibetan plateau on March 10, 2008. We believe that some of those Tibetans have since been released, usually after undergoing extremely brutal treatment while in detention. The list below provides more detail on individuals named on the full prisoner list. There are many hundreds of names we have not been able to confirm due to the Chinese authorities’ efforts to block information flow. ICT’s prisoner list includes names in Chinese and will be updated to include Tibetan names and further information as it becomes available.
