Video Reveals Abuse of Tibetan Student by Chinese Principal

A viral video, released by the Tibet Action Institute on Dec. 16, shows Dang Qingfu, a principal and local Communist Party secretary, abusing a Tibetan student at a boarding school in Qinghai province. The footage depicts slapping and ear-pulling in front of other students. The incident highlights concerns over Chinese-run boarding schools, which critics argue suppress Tibetan language and culture through “patriotic education.” Despite claims of investigation, Dang remains in his role. Advocates cite systemic challenges in holding officials accountable for human rights violations against Tibetans, with similar abuse cases surfacing recently, according to Radio Free Asia.
