Taipei: Taiwan Tibetan Welfare Association and Regional Tibetan Youth Congress on 25 September solicited support from respective Embassy offices in Taiwan to protect Human Rights in Tibet, Religious freedom as well as large-scale discriminations faced by the Tibetans in Tibet.
Members of both NGOs presented their petitions along with a booklet of Human Rights Violations: The case of Tibet depicting the real situation of human rights violations inside Tibet. Besides that, they also presented Joint Report Submission that was presented to UN Human Rights Council in March 2018 highlighting China`s failure in the implementation of the recommendation made in the previous UPR and how it continues to violate the fundamental human rights of Tibetan.
Documents were distributed to 60 Embassy offices in Taipei, and rest were sent by post to respective Embassy office in Taipei.
Taiwan Tibetan Welfare Association Members and Reginal Tibetan Youth Congress members jointly requested the respective Embassy office to make a Tibet-specific during the upcoming thirty-first Session of China`s third universal periodic review (UPR) of UN Human Rights Council on 6th November 2018 in Geneva, Switzerland
China’s relentless attacks on the fundamental rights, identity, and culture of the Tibetan people have intensified and impact of these are sadly manifested in the number of the self-immolation of Tibetans that has now reached to 150 since 2009.
Amidst the ongoing human rights violations across China, Tibetans have been singled out because Tibetans belong to the ethnic minority. UN member states must use the upcoming Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of China to demand that Beijing respect the human rights of the Tibetan people. The worsening situation about civil and political rights social, religion, language and cultural rights of the Tibetan people must be taken into high consideration.
