Tibetan Activists Call for Transparency as China Controls Flood Reporting in Tibet and Nepal
Following devastating floods in Nepal and Tibet, Tibetan rights activists and environmental researchers have called on China to allow greater transparency and international media access to verify the disaster's impact. China has reported casualties but faces criticism for restricting information flow and censoring flood-related content, including videos from Gyirong Port. Experts warn of geological risks linked to climate change and hydropower projects in Tibet, urging China to share data with downstream countries like Nepal and India to prevent future hazards.
