Through his film, 'Daughter of the Light', Khashem Gyal shows the transformations that modernization in #Tibet has brought, quietly pointing to relationship breakdowns + other challenges in Tibetan pastoral communities chineseyouthstandfortibet.substack.com/p/daughter-o...

Bhumpa Gyal spent years helping build a #Tibetan language digital commons: supporting independent websites, digital literacy, & cultural preservation online. Arrested in 2020 & sentenced to 7 years in prison, his case reflects the risks faced by technologists & cultural workers under repression.

New @hrw report investigates impacts of China's policies mandating #Chinese-only instruction in all preschools, ending bilingual education in #Tibetan areas. Children aged 3-4 are losing their mother tongue + connection to culture, families 1/2

A new @tibetwatch.org report documents an intensifying pattern of repression against #Tibetan monks, writers, & teachers, targeting ordinary expressions of Tibetan culture. In the U.S., Sens. Scott & Merkley have introduced the Tibet Atrocities Determination Act. www.voachinese.com/a/new-report...

The CCP wants to compel every #Tibetan to weigh, day after day, whether their most ordinary cultural or religious actions might inadvertently cross a red line www.voachinese.com/a/new-report...

Our new report documents a cluster of disturbing cases that reveal an intensifying pattern of repression targeting #Tibetans for acts that belong to ordinary cultural, religious and intellectual life tibetwatch.org/disappeared-...

In Ngaba, #Tibet, children can no longer register as 'Tenzin' — the Dalai Lama's name, meaning 'holder of the Dharma'. It fits a wider pattern: boarding schools are being used to sever children from their language, family + faith 4/4

New stellar @citizenlab.ca + @icij.org report names @tibcert.bsky.social — including its Director, a sitting MP Tibetan Parliament — among targets of a PRC-aligned #phishing campaign also hitting #Uyghur, #HongKong, & #Taiwanese activists. 25 years on, Tibetan institutions still in the crosshairs:

The #Nepal International #FilmFestival is facing backlash over a “ #Xizang Panorama ” segment that #Tibetan activists say platformed PRC state propaganda under the guise of cultural programming: the dispute is about who gets to represent #Tibet, & on whose terms. phayul.com/nepal-intern...

Studying a painting of cranes during an audience, the #DalaiLama quietly recites a verse penned by the Sixth Dalai Lama: 'White crane! Lend me your wings—I shall not fly far; From Lithang, I shall return'; a poem that foretold the birthplace of the Seventh Dalai Lama.

A museum altering an image under PRC corporate pressure isn’t a dissident targeted by deceptive digital ops. Same ecology though, argues Ge Chen: one the hard edge of #transnationalrepression, the other its quieter institutional face:

It didn't take long for #China to interfere in the internal affairs of the new #Nepalese govt, with a warning not to attend the inauguration of the exile #Tibetan president, Sikyong Penpa Tsering, in May kathmandupost.com/national/202...

A clear pattern emerges in a survey of names of Inner Mongolian schools - the removal of the word ‘#Mongolian’. Soyonbo Borjgin writes why this matters - schools’ names are not merely administrative labels. They carry memory, identity and cultural presence soyonbo.substack.com/p/a-record-o...
