2021年5月17日，是中国国家安全部门强迫西藏第十一世班禅喇嘛更登曲吉尼玛失踪26周年。1995年中国政府绑架了当时6岁的第十一世班禅喇嘛，这是中国批准《儿童权利公约》三年之后，这公然违反了其作为签署国的义务。
中国当局必须立即对6个孩子的父亲诺桑先生的死亡进行独立和公正的调查。诺桑先生被西藏自治区那曲市色尼区达前乡拘留一周多后神秘死亡。
必须立即进行可靠的调查，以确定诺桑先生非正常死亡背后的真相。西藏人权与民主促进中心执行董事次仁措莫说：”中国当局必须对任何侵犯生命权，最基本的人权的行为负责，并对犯罪人员施加惩罚性制裁。除了为受害者的家庭提供足够的赔偿外，还必须采取其他必要措施，以防止今后侵犯被拘留者的生命权。”
今天以三种语言（藏文、中文和英文）在线发布《2020年西藏人权状况年度报告》，《报告》呈现出令人不安的剥夺和虐待现象，由于对和平异议的任何迹象进行了广泛而系统的镇压，其特征是持续不断的严重侵犯人权行为，包括缺乏独立的人权和自由空间。 《2020年西藏人权状况年度报告》中记录的事件提供了任意逮捕和拘留激增的证据，法外处决导致了地方性和系统性酷刑的实施。由于越来越多的藏人因拥有达赖喇嘛的照片或倡导环境、文化和语言权利而指控所谓犯罪行为而被任意拘留，秘密和非公开拘留仍然非常普遍。 第七届西藏工作座谈会和第十四个五年计划（2021-2025）中的压迫性政策和做法，例如在国家政治目标、安全议程和经济利益的严格指导下持续的国家赞助，而不是真正的努力来改善藏人生活质量。 中国当局继续以“维护稳定”的名义实施严厉的强迫同化和不明智的发展政策。 这导致严重侵犯公民的政治，经济，社会和文化权利。 中国的发展项目集中在以汉人为主的城镇中，总是为汉族人提供投资优惠和好处，而忽视了大多数处于不利地位和被剥夺权力的藏人，从而导致根深蒂固的不平等、歧视和贫困。从基础设施建设和城市化到教育和语言等部门的发展政策，包括“双语教育”政策，都是为了建立单一的“中华民族”身份更广泛议程的一部分，从而破坏藏人身份认同和文化传播。 在2008年西藏爆发了广泛不满的抗议事件，包括对宗教的严格限制和对达赖喇嘛的污蔑；中国人向西藏地区的移民增加；政治压迫、经济边缘化、缺乏自治、环境破坏和虐待等等。但中国从未对自己错误政策和设计不当的发展政策进行过反省。中国已经批准了许多国际人权公约，并且是联合国和人权理事会的成员。同时，中国在与人权直接相关的一系列问题上的法律、政策和做法被证明违反了国际法和其他人权公约。必须解决这一矛盾立场，并必须追究中华人民共和国的责任。 该报告可在此处下载：Chinese-annual-report Download

A Tibetan mother of two, who was also a popular social media personality, died at the hands of her ex-husband on 30 September because she had refused to return to her abusive marriage. Lhamo, 30, was stabbed and then set on fire by the ex-husband on 14 September while she was live streaming from her home. The horrifying attack on Lhamo on the Chinese video app Douyin triggered a wave of outrage among Chinese netizens, who condemned the crime and demanded that Chinese authorities be held accountable for failing to prevent domestic violence. Despite government censorship, there were vociferous calls advocating for better laws and support systems for domestic abuse victims. Lhamo’s tragic death highlighted China’s appalling tolerance of gender-based violence despite enacting the Anti-Domestic Law in 2016.
Chinese authorities must release from detention a popular Tibetan singer unjustly sentenced for peacefully expressing dissent against Chinese rule, the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) said today.
