The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) has released a report detailing the deteriorating human rights conditions in Tibet under the People's Republic of China. The report, published on Thursday, reveals that Tibetans are subjected to severe restrictions on fundamental freedoms including religion, expression, and cultural identity. In 2025, the Chinese government intensified its political and ideological control, with heightened surveillance and administrative measures affecting religious practices. Monasteries faced increased monitoring, and monks and nuns encountered restrictions on their movement and education. The report documents serious human rights violations such as arbitrary detention and torture, often justified by the government under vague national security laws. TCHRD's executive director, Tenzin Dawa, emphasized that Tibet remains one of the least free regions globally, with the Chinese Communist Party's policies aimed at reshaping Tibetan identity through legal regulation and cultural assimilation. The report also highlights extensive security measures imposed during significant events, like the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday, and calls for international action to uphold human rights standards against China's restrictive measures.
