The network of schools now houses students ranging from four to 18 years old, comprising up to 1 million children. The results are potential psychological and emotional scarring. Inherently, as children are taught dominantly in Mandarin instead of their mother tongue, they lose the ability to read and write in Tibetan, thus experiencing a profound disconnect from defining characteristics of Tibetan identity. The PRC\u2019s agenda could not be more transparent: the erasure of Tibetan identity by divorcing Tibetan children from the primary conduit of intergenerational cultural transference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Chinese government media sources, since 2001 at least 1.8 million nomads have been forced into sedentary houses under the pretense of various policies. Displaced Tibetans are provided little choice, nor do they receive compensation or assurances of income or employment for the future. Research also shows that China\u2019s claims of \u201cconsent\u201d are a smokescreen, as families are compelled by the closure of local schools, repeated visits and threats from officials, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chinese government continues its attempt to co-opt Buddhism in China by demanding loyalty to the party. The Chinese Communist Party\u2019s intrusion into Buddhist religious freedom operates at all levels, including seizing control of monasteries\u2019 financial management, state approval of religious leaders, pervasive surveillance and cruel retribution for even the most minor departure from its stringent policies. Tibetan political prisoners are routinely tortured and mistreated, often resulting in their death not long after release. In addition, the CCP\u2019s efforts to interfere in the reincarnation process of Tibetan spiritual leaders in and outside Tibet is an egregious violation of Tibetan Buddhists\u2019 right to religious freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/savetibet.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023.07.18-ICT-FIDH-joint-submission-China-4th-UPR-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the report submitted by the International Campaign for Tibet and International Federation for Human Rights.<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of the upcoming Universal Periodic Review of China in the UN Human Rights Council, the International Campaign for Tibet and the International Federation for Human Rights have submitted a report detailing systematic and widespread patterns of rights violations in Tibet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11592,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categorie":[691,678],"news_tag":[672],"class_list":["post-12932","nieuws","type-nieuws","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorie-news","categorie-policy-centerunited-nations-and-tibet","news_tag-united-nations-and-tibet"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
