Tibetan Groups Hold Commemorations and Protests Against China's Tibet Policies
Tibetan groups are organizing events to commemorate the self-immolation of activist Lobsang Palden, who protested China's policies in Tibet. The Central Tibetan Administration and Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile plan a prayer service and peaceful march in Dharamsala on August 20, marking the 49th day since his death. Meanwhile, over 200 Tibetans and supporters protested near the Swiss Parliament against China's assimilation policies and the Ethnic Unity and Progress Law, which critics say threatens Tibetan cultural identity. These actions highlight ongoing concerns about China's treatment of Tibetans.
