The 18th UN Forum on Minority Issues and Tibet

Geneva — Tibetan researcher Tenzin Dorjee delivered a powerful speech at a panel discussion during the 18th United Nations Forum on Minority Issues. Chinese representatives twice attempted to prevent him from speaking the truth, but failed. He revealed to representatives from 26 countries that the Chinese government had locked up more than one million people from East Turkistan in detention camps, banned the use of the Mongolian language, and used the classic colonial tool of boarding schools to strip approximately one million Tibetan children of their language, culture, and identity.
