Tibetans in India Organize Protests and Rally Against China's Ethnic Unity Law
Tibetan groups in India are organizing protests and a week-long cycle rally culminating on August 20 to oppose China's new "Ethnic Unity and Progress Law," which they say threatens Tibetan language, culture, and identity. The cycle rally honors activist Lobga Rangzen, who self-immolated near the UN in July to highlight Tibetan human rights issues. Demonstrations, including candlelight vigils, are planned in multiple Indian cities to raise awareness and call for the law's repeal and accountability for policies affecting Tibetans.
