Seven Tibetan Protesters Detained in Delhi During Chinese FM Wang Yi Visit

During Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's two-day visit to New Delhi, Tibetan activists, primarily from the Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC), staged protests demanding an end to China's policies aimed at eroding Tibetan identity and opposing Beijing's interference in the recognition of the Dalai Lama's reincarnation. The demonstrators gathered near the Chinese Embassy and other diplomatic venues, chanting slogans like "Free Tibet" and "End repression," and highlighted issues such as forced assimilation, cultural repression, and religious persecution in Tibet. Indian police detained seven protesters temporarily to maintain security during the high-profile visit, ensuring no excessive force was used, and later released them. The protests also urged India to address the Tibet issue as part of its broader border discussions with China, emphasizing that Tibet's status is central to lasting peace between the two countries. Activists called attention to the plight of Tibetan children in Chinese-run boarding schools and criticized China’s broader "five-finger strategy" affecting the region. This demonstration occurred amid ongoing India-China geopolitical tensions and underscored the Tibetan exile community's continued efforts to garner international support for their cause.
