Summary: The resolution condemns the brutal repression of Tibetan protesters during the 2008 uprising and calls for the release of all peaceful demonstrators and detainees. It urges China to respect human rights, freedom of expression, and minority rights, and to allow UN and media access to Tibet. The European Parliament supports the Dalai Lama’s “Middle Way” approach seeking genuine autonomy within China and reaffirms China’s territorial integrity. It calls for a UN-led independent inquiry into the violence, renewed dialogue between Beijing and the Dalai Lama, and appointment of an EU Special Envoy for Tibet. The resolution also urges China to ratify the ICCPR, stop censorship, and ensure the 2008 Beijing Olympics promote human rights rather than repression.
