Parliamentary Appeal

By Contact Staff /  November 7, 2012;

On the eve of China’s once-a-decade leadership change, the exile Tibetan Parliament today made an appeal to the 18th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. “We urge the PRC government to usher in conducive atmosphere for our people to freely practice and promote our religion, culture and language,” the release stated. Further, the Tibetan lawmakers appealed the 18th Congress to “provide amnesty and release all Tibetan political prisoners to foster positive policy transformation in Tibet.”
