The International Campaign for Tibet welcomes the recognition of the ongoing human rights crisis in Tibet and the need for unfettered access to Tibet in the new communique from the Group of Seven’s foreign ministers.
Following a three-day summit under German presidency, the G7 foreign ministers issued a communique on May 14, 2022 saying, “We remain deeply concerned by the human rights situation in China, particularly in Xinjiang and Tibet.” They added, “we urge China to fully respect human rights.”
The foreign ministers also insisted that Chinese authorities “allow immediate, meaningful and unfettered access to Xinjiang and Tibet for independent observers, including the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and her potential visit to China.”
Bhuchung Tsering, Interim President of ICT, said: “Tibet is one of the least accessible regions in the world for foreign visitors, including diplomats, journalists and independent observers. Its complete isolation is part of the Chinese government’s strategy to oppress the Tibetan people by denying international scrutiny of the Communist Party’s violations of basic human rights.
