UK House of Lords Criticize China's Human Rights Violations in Tibet

Members of the UK House of Lords, led by Lord David Alton, raised alarms over China's human rights abuses during a debate marking 40 years since the Sino-British Joint Declaration. According to Tibet.net, concerns were voiced about China's repression in Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan, East Turkestan, and the South China Sea. Lord Martin Callanan condemned China's systematic erasure of Tibet's history, culture, and identity, labeling it a global moral failure. Citing his meeting with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Callanan praised the Tibetan leader’s advocacy of non-violence despite the hardships faced by Tibetans under Chinese rule.
