Established on October 12, 1998, San Francisco Regional Tibetan Youth Congress (SFTYC) is as active as ever in the cause of the Tibetan struggle for freedom.
Another Tibetan jailed for a crime of writing a song. Lhundrup Drakpa was sentenced to 6 years in prison The insecurity of CCP is simply unbelievable. Can you imagine if they are scared of songs and writings, how far will they go to quell protest and revolutions. It’s not that they haven’t chartered onto this course. They have massacred Tibetans on few uprisings before, even their own at Tiananmen. How long can they sustain to rule with fear. The party is standing on fragile foundations.
Rinpoche was a truly remarkable community leader, killed because he spoke against an oppressive regime. Today, there are still many Tibetans who are still in Chinese prison for expressing their Tibetan Identity. They are denied a fair trial & convicted on false charges.
Today July 12, 2023, marks eight years since the unjust killing of Tulku Tenzin Delek Rinpoche by the Chinese government, #CCP. Rinpoche was a highly respected monk and an influential community leader in Tibet.
In January 2005 Tenzin Delek Rinpoche’s sentence was commuted to life in prison. After 13 years of imprisonment where he faced severe torture, on 12 July 2015, Tulku Tenzin Delek Rinpoche died in Chinese prison.
#SikyongPenpaTsering highlighted the historically independent status of Tibet, and urged international governments not to parrot Chinese government’s lines saying “Tibet is part of China” without proper knowledge of the history of Tibet.
