US Consulate in Tibet

On June 12 2009, the House of Representatives passed a bill which authorizes the establishment of a US Consulate in Tibet. Though the consulate will be based within the US Embassy in Beijing for the time being, the bill makes the direction that the Consulate should be established in Tibet's capital, Lhasa. The bill now goes to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for consideration. The bill states that the Consulate staff will monitor the human rights situation in Tibet.

US supporters: write to your Senator to encourage them to support the bill

Human rights
Although China is a signatory of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, abuses of fundamental rights abound in occupied Tibet. 

 

Culture & society
Restrictions on freedom of religion and educational opportunities are only part of the assaults on Tibetan culture and society.
