TCHRD Urges Global Action Against Enforced Disappearances in Tibet

On the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) urged global action against China's state-sanctioned enforced disappearances in Tibet. TCHRD reports that China has legalized secret detentions through amendments to its Criminal Procedure Law, targeting Tibetans under vague charges. Despite international criticism, Tibetans continue to face severe repression, with thousands subjected to incommunicado detention. TCHRD documented over 63 cases in four years, highlighting underreporting due to fear of reprisals. The UN has repeatedly called for China to end these practices, but Beijing has ignored these demands.
