Summary
In this joint declaration, the German Bundestag's Committee for Human Rights and Humanitarian Aid expresses solidarity with Tibetans and raises concerns over threats to Tibetan culture, language, identity, and religion. It highlights the continued impact of repression, including more than 150 self-immolations, and calls on the international community to respond to the situation.
The Committee supports the Dalai Lama’s Middle Way Approach seeking meaningful autonomy for Tibet within China and calls on the Chinese government to respect the rights of Tibetans, end restrictions on religious and personal freedoms, stop repression, and resume dialogue with Tibetan representatives.
