Tibetan Delegation to United Nations Council on Human Rights reports on Harmful Chinese Practices
Geneva- The United Nations Council on Human Rights, now in its third week of sessions, heard from the Tibetan delegation yesterday on the issues of torture, religious freedom, disappearances and forced resettlement of nomads in Tibet. Mr. Tenzin Samphel Kayta, on behalf of the Society for Threatened Peoples, drew the Council's attention to the Chinese government's repeated failure to accurately account for thousands of Tibetans detained since 2008 and to end the practices of routine torture and illegal imprisonment.
