Pro-Tibet Activists Protest Outside Chinese Embassy

On October 1, as China celebrated its 75th anniversary of Communist Party rule, Tibetan activists in New Delhi staged protests outside the Chinese Embassy, demanding accountability for alleged atrocities in Tibet. The protests included a cycle rally organized by the Tibetan Youth Congress, which covered over 400 kilometers from Dehradun to Delhi, aimed at raising awareness of cultural genocide. Demonstrators were met with police intervention, resulting in several detentions as they chanted slogans calling for Tibet's freedom. Activists emphasized that the struggle for Tibet is about survival and cultural preservation against China's oppressive policies. The protests coincided with heightened security measures reported within Tibet, reflecting ongoing tensions. The European Union has reiterated concerns regarding human rights abuses in Tibet during recent UN sessions, highlighting issues like obligatory boarding schooling and mass DNA sampling.
