The Chinese government severely restricts the rights of Tibetans to exercise human rights as provided in the Chinese constitution, including the freedoms of speech, press, association, and religion.

Reading an autobiography of the Dalai Lama or talking about freedom to friends in Tibet can be classified as ‘endangering state security’.

The latest US State Department Country Report said that China’s human rights record in Tibet “remained poor”. The Chinese government continues to commit “serious human rights abuses, including torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, house arrest and surveillance of dissidents, and arbitrary restrictions on free movement.”

Human rights abuses in Tibet will only end with a lasting resolution of the Tibet-China conflict.
