Hoy tuve el honor de recibir al Ven. Thubten Wangchen, representante de Su Santidad el Dalái Lama para Latinoamérica, y a Tencho Gyatso, presidenta de la Campaña Internacional por el Tíbet.
Durante décadas, el pueblo tibetano ha sido perseguido, reprimido y desplazado por China en su lucha por la libertad, la democracia y el respeto a los derechos humanos.
Tienen mi respeto, apoyo y solidaridad.

The recent disaster in the Himalayas exposed a stark contrast: open reporting is emerging from Nepal, while information from Tibet remains almost entirely dependent on China’s tightly controlled state media. buff.ly/dWNcqpk

中尼边境发生洪灾后，尼泊尔灾区涌入大批记者，西藏一侧却鲜有独立报道，外界能获得的信息十分有限。人权组织“国际声援西藏运动”呼吁中国当局提高信息透明度。
中尼边境喜马拉雅山区发生严重洪灾后，🇨🇳中国官方媒体的报道目前大多呈现出这样一幅画面：政府各部门依然在有序运转：报道画面中可以看到身穿制服的救援人员分批、有序抵达，空拍镜头则记录了无人机和直升机从空中展开救援。救援物资陆续送达，各类技术设备也投入使用。
不过德国电视一台《每日新闻》（Tagesschau）指出，山洪爆发的首日，曾在中国网络上流传的大量洪水现场视频，如今已被官方审查人员大幅删除。其中一段来自中国西藏边境小镇吉隆的监控录像显示，裹挟着泥浆和巨石的洪流瞬间吞没一座大型边检设施，正在广场上逃生的人群也被泥石流掩埋。
在西藏这一受到严格管控的地区，独立自由的新闻报道几乎无法展开。外国记者的进入受到重重限制，几乎无法获准进入当地采访。
总部位于柏林的人权组织“国际声援西藏运动”（International Campaign for Tibet）呼吁中国当局提高信息透明度。该组织指出，尼泊尔方面已及时公布相关信息，中方也应在西藏提供同等程度的透明度。
《每日新闻》指出，由于灾难发生地点位于连接西藏拉萨与尼泊尔加德满都的路在线，平时有大量游客与朝圣者经过，尼泊尔警方预估“还会找到更多遗体”。目前仍有数百人失联，德国外交部表示，尼泊尔和西藏灾区都有德国公民被列入失联人员名单。

For those whose near and dear ones where at the #Rasuwa flood area, #Nepal is updating available information about rescued individuals. The situation is not clear on the #Tibetan side; we only learn that President #XiJinping held a meeting today. ndrrma.gov.np/en/rescue

Thousands of New Yorkers woke yesterday to devastating news from home. Flooding along the Nepal-Tibet border has taken hundreds of lives, and the search for those still missing continues.
To our Nepali and Tibetan neighbors: this city knows what it means to grieve a place you left and still call home. You are not carrying this alone. New York City stands with you.

I'm heartbroken by the catastrophic flooding along the Tibet-Nepal border.
My prayers are with those who have lost loved ones, those who are injured, and the families still searching or waiting for word about someone they love. I’m deeply grateful to the brave rescuers working under incredibly difficult and complicated conditions.
I’ve had the honor of visiting Tibet and Nepal, as well as meeting His Holiness the Dalai Lama many times. I will never forget the extraordinary beauty of the mountains—or the strength, warmth, and resilience of the people there.
Massachusetts stands with our Tibetan and Nepali neighbors during this moment of profound uncertainty and loss.

Watch: India should recognise itself as a stakeholder in Tibet’s future because the Himalayan frontier is directly tied to its national security, a senior International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) official has said, warning that Beijing is placing trusted non-Tibetan officials in border areas.
Bhuchung Tsering, Head of Research and Monitoring at the International Campaign for Tibet, says, "This is part of our annual report on the status of Tibetan leadership in all the Tibetan areas in Tibet. This year, we find three major points reflected in the overall report. First, despite Chinese laws promising that people like the [Tibetan people] should be the ones leading government positions..."

Today, we commemorate the tens of thousands of brave Tibetans who took to the streets to protest China’s unlawful occupation of Tibet.
67 years later, they continue to suffer under the oppressive policies of China. We must continue to raise awareness of Tibet’s fight for independence!

Today is National Tibetan Uprising Day, which commemorates the 1959 uprising against Chinese occupation and honors those who lost their lives fighting for freedom. We continue to advocate for human rights and resilience against cultural suppression in Tibet.

Sixty-seven years ago today, the Tibetan people bravely rose up to defend their freedom, religion, and way of life. The Chinese Communist Party responded with a violent crackdown that forced thousands into exile. But to this day, Tibetans' commitment to peace and perseverance reminds us that even if the CCP takes away your land, they cannot crush your culture or your spirit.

Today, I met with @SikyongPTsering and Tibetan leaders to reaffirm America’s bipartisan, unwavering support for Tibet.
The United States must never turn their back on the Tibetan people in their fight to preserve their faith, language and culture.
