Prague: On 26 March 2026, Representatives Thinlay Chukki, accompanied by UN Advocacy Officer Phuntsok Topgyal, held a meeting with Sinopsis, where they discussed several key issues concerning Tibet, as well as possibilities for future research collaboration.

Later, they met with officials from the U.S. Embassy’s Political Affairs Section in the Czech Republic. The discussions focused on the current situation of Tibetans inside Tibet and the recent Czech Senate resolution. The U.S. Embassy representatives stated that they support all necessary measures on the Tibet cause from their side.

Following this, the Representative met with MP Hayato, Chairman of the Parliament Tibet Support Group from the Chamber of Deputies. The meeting addressed the re-establishment of the Tibet Support Group within the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic. During the discussion, representative Thinlay Chukki provided updates on the current situation in Tibet, including developments related to the newly introduced ethnic law.

Particular attention was given to the implications of this ethnic law, which is seen as further consolidating centralised control over ethnic minority regions, including Tibet. The representatives highlighted concerns that the law may accelerate policies of cultural assimilation, including restrictions on the use of the Tibetan language in education and public life, increased state oversight of religious practices, and limitations on the preservation of Tibetan cultural identity. They also noted concerns about expanded surveillance measures and administrative controls that could affect local governance and community life, as well as potential mechanisms to monitor and influence Tibetan communities living outside China.

On the following day, the delegation met with Czech foreign affairs officials. In this meeting, the representatives elaborated further on the newly introduced ethnic law, including its broader scope and potential extraterritorial implications. They raised concerns that the law could enable increased monitoring and influence over Tibetan communities abroad, alongside reinforcing assimilation policies within Tibet. The discussion emphasised how these measures may impact cultural preservation, religious freedom, and the autonomy of Tibetans both inside Tibet and in the diaspora.

The delegation also provided a comprehensive briefing on the current human rights situation inside Tibet, including restrictions on freedom of expression, religion, and movement.
