Human Rights & Civil Rights

ABSTRACT:
Human and civil rights in Tibet have been severely restricted under the Chinese government’s rule, with Tibetans facing systemic oppression and a lack of fundamental freedoms. Since the Chinese occupation in 1950, Tibetans have been denied basic civil liberties, including freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, and the right to practice their religion without state interference. The Chinese government imposes strict surveillance and control over Tibetan communities, punishing those who express dissent or demand autonomy. Tibetan culture, language, and religious practices have been suppressed, with the state dictating religious and cultural expression. The rights of Tibetan minorities are systematically disregarded, as they are forced to adhere to a rigid state ideology that promotes the Chinese Communist Party’s policies and authority. The political climate in Tibet has stifled any meaningful opposition, and Tibetans live under constant fear of surveillance, imprisonment, and persecution. In exile, Tibetan communities continue to call for international support in their fight for human rights, with ongoing uprisings and campaigns to restore dignity, autonomy, and freedom for Tibetans within Tibet. This paper delves into the erosion of human and civil rights in Tibet under Chinese control, highlighting the ongoing struggles of Tibetans both inside Tibet and in the diaspora to reclaim their rights and freedoms.
