39th Meeting 58th Session of Human Rights Council UN Web TV
– General debate under agenda item 4 (Cont’d)
International Career Support Association, Mr. Shunichi Fujiki
发言内容:
U.N. reports and studies from Human Rights Watch, Freedom House, and Amnesty International highlight China’s repression of Tibetans. Since 1978, policies like the Western China Development Program have diluted Tibetan culture, prioritizing Han Chinese interests.
The most urgent threat is the expansion of the state-run boarding schools. One million Tibetan children are forcibly separated from their families, forbidden from speaking their language as young as four, they are immersed in a Mandarin-speaking environment that erases their cultural heritage.
Tibetan activist Dr. Gyallo warns these schools prevent Tibetans from raising their voice. These institutions cause psychological harm, isolating children, and severing ties to their roots. Reports of inadequate care, restricted family contact, and missing children are widespread. This is ahuman rights crisis.
We call on this Council to send a special rapporteur to China to: 1. Investigate their forced indoctrination of Tibetan children. 2. Demand the closure of these schools and restore the rights to learn their language and culture. 3. Hold China accountable for its abuse and increase diplomatic pressure to protect Tibetans. Silence is complicity.
Mr. Vice President, did Tibetans commit any crime? We don’t think so. Thank you very much.
