Tibetan representation thanks the Parliament for the statement on protecting Tibetan children

The Tibetan representation in London expressed gratitude to the Estonian Parliament for unanimously adopting a statement to protect Tibetan children by calling for the closure of the Chinese-type colonial boarding school system in Tibet.

The Tibetan representation based in London has publicly thanked the Estonian Parliament for its support regarding Tibetan children's rights. This appreciation follows the Parliament's unanimous adoption of a declaration aimed at protecting Tibetan minors from the oppressive schooling system established by China.

In the message sent to the Estonian Parliament, Tenzin Kunga, the secretary of the Tibetan representation, expressed great pleasure that lawmakers in Estonia recognized the need to address human rights concerns in Tibet. The resolution urges for the dismantling of the colonial boarding school system in the region, which has been criticized for erasing Tibetan culture and indoctrinating children into a Chinese state narrative.

This parliamentary move signals a growing awareness and concern for Tibetan issues within the European political landscape. By taking a stance against these practices, Estonia joins a group of nations advocating for the protection of cultural identities and human rights, potentially influencing international discussions on Tibetan rights and prompting further actions by global bodies.
