Summary: In its statement under item 4 at the 60th Session of the UN Human Rights Council, the EU stated "The human rights situation in Tibet continues to be dire. Indicators of this include obligatory boarding schooling. We are deeply concerned over reports that Tibetan schools teaching Tibetan language and culture have been shut down and that Chinese authorities have insisted that all students attend state schools where Tibetan is only taught as a stand-alone subject."

The statement also calls for the immediate release of a number of Tibetan political prisoners, including Anya Sengdra, Chadrel Rinpoche, Go Sherab Gyatso, Golog Palden and Tashi Dorje.
