Press Statement
The Central Tibetan Administration expresses deep concern over remarks made by Sonam Wangchuk in his recent public speech in Ladakh, in which he compared the situation in Ladakh with that of inside Tibet. CTA considers such a comparison misplaced and inaccurate. His statement doesn’t reflect the real situation inside Tibet. Tibet continues to remain under China’s authoritarian rule, where Tibetans face systematic repression of their fundamental rights, religious freedom; and intensification of measures aimed at erasing its distinct cultural identity.

We can unequivocally confirm that His Holiness has never met Jeffrey Epstein or authorised any meeting or interaction with him by anyone on His Holiness’s behalf.

Sad news from Tibet: Kunchok Lodoe, a former political prisoner, has passed away at 52. Arrested in 1992, he endured 13 years of imprisonment, finally gaining medical parole in 1996.
China's land grabs across the Himalayas in the form of village construction essentially creates an active line of human defense. This can also be used as a mechanism of border activity reporting to #China.

Everyday, in silent ways, Tibetans in Tibet show their resistance to Chinese rule. Here they remove their hats as a sign of respect for the exiled Dalai Lama as they pass his empty palace. #TibetanResistance
