Nepal Moves Tibet Conference Online Amid Conflicting Reports on Government Role
An international conference on Tibet, planned for August 23-29 at Kathmandu University, was moved online after the university withdrew as host. Organisers cited government pressure, while Nepal's government denied issuing cancellation orders, stating the decision was made by organisers due to sensitivities and security concerns. Reports suggest senior officials discussed the event following concerns from China, but security agencies did not recommend cancellation. The conference will proceed virtually, focusing on Tibetan history, culture, and society.
