G7 Condemns China's Human Rights Record in Tibet

G7 nations and the EU High Representative criticized China’s human rights record in a statement following a meeting in Italy. They condemned the suppression of freedoms in Tibet, East Turkestan, and Hong Kong, highlighting the sentencing of 45 Hong Kong pro-democracy activists as a blow to democracy and rule of law. The group urged China to honor its international commitments to human rights and reaffirmed their commitment to upholding international law. This builds on prior G7 critiques of Beijing’s practices, emphasizing concern over civil liberties and legal erosion under China’s policies.
