Summary: In an answer to a parliamentary question tabled in the Senate (Question 07643), the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs stated that the case of Zhang Yadi, a young Chinese student who was studying in France and was arrested in China in July 2025 for her peaceful advocacy for Tibet, is being closely monitored by France and at the European level. He said France continues to raise her case with Chinese authorities and remains mobilised to seek her release.

The Minister added that France closely follows the broader human rights situation in China and Tibet, supporting civil society and raising concerns in international forums, including at the UN and within the EU. It highlighted France’s recommendations during China’s Universal Periodic Review to protect freedom of religion, its support for joint statements on human rights in Xinjiang and Tibet, and EU efforts to defend Tibetan identity, culture and fundamental freedoms.
