TIBET FILM DAYS ARE BACK THIS SEPTEMBER! 🎬✨

Our colleagues in Amsterdam are kicking off the 2026 edition on 13 September in Amsterdam in cooperation with the Buddhist Film Festival Europe, with the Dutch premiere of My Religion Is Kindness – The Dalai Lama in the Netherlands.

The documentary explores more than 50 years of the Dalai Lama’s visits to the Netherlands and the enduring impact of his message of compassion, non-violence and universal responsibility.

After the screening, filmmaker Babeth Mondini VanLoo and other experts will join a panel discussion on the enduring relevance of his message. The film will then be screened in various cities across the Netherlands until 11 October.

🇮🇪 🇪🇺 As Ireland takes on the Presidency of the Council of the EU for the next 6 months, it should help shape a more coherent, principled and strategic European approach to Tibet!

The Presidency, which started on 1 July, has placed the Union's values and security at the centre of its programme. Tibet sits at the intersection of both priorities: the EU must uphold its commitment to human rights and fundamental freedoms by standing up for Tibetans, while also recognising Tibet’s wider strategic importance for regional security, environmental governance and water security.

Our latest briefing outlines five priorities for the Irish Presidency to ensure that Tibet receives greater attention across the EU’s engagement with China - you can read it at: https://savetibet.nl/en/news/addressing-the-strategic-crisis-in-tibet-five-priorities-for-the-irish-presidency-of-the-council-of-the-european-union/

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lobga, also known as Lobga Rangzen, following his self-immolation at the UN headquarters in New York on Thursday evening. Lobga was a tireless advocate for Tibet who devoted himself to peacefully raising awareness of the human rights crisis in Tibet, and he will be remembered for his unwavering commitment to justice and the Tibetan cause. Lobga’s passing is one day after the implementation of China’s new so-called Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress Law.

“In his final statement, which he posted on his Facebook account, Lobga warned that China’s policies threaten the very survival of Tibetan identity, language, and culture, and called on all Tibetans to be united in their fight for the cause of the Tibetan struggle. While we mourn this tragic loss, it is imperative that the international community heed the message behind his profound despair by addressing the worsening human rights situation in Tibet and holding the Chinese government accountable for its policies of repression and forced assimilation.”

As China's "Ethnic Unity" law entered into force today, ICT joined Tibetans, Uyghurs and supporters outside the European Parliament in Brussels to say loud and clear: unity can NEVER be built on the erasure of peoples' cultures, languages and identities!

A huge thank you to Members of the European Parliament Mr. Dainius Žalimas, Ms. Danuše Nerudová, Ms. Miriam Lexmann, Ms. Markéta Gregorová and Mr. MEP Hannes Heide, and to the representatives of other supportive MEPs, for joining us. Your presence and solidarity sent a powerful signal: Europeans stands with Tibetans, Uyghurs, Southern Mongolians and all those targeted by Beijing's forced assimilation policies.

Now it's time for action. The EU and its Member States must respond with concrete measures to hold China accountable for this dangerous law!

🇺🇳 ICT speaks out on China’s “ethnic unity” law in Geneva!

Together with colleagues from other ICT offices, our Advocacy Officer took part in United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva this month, meeting with state representatives, delivering oral statements and raising concerns over China’s so-called “Ethnic Unity" law.

A highlight of the session was a well-attended side-event organised by the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, where ICT’s Bhuchung Tsering joined Tibetan and Uyghur experts in warning that the law further entrenches repressive policies and threatens Tibetan identity, language and culture. The issue was also reflected in the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights’ global update, who called for the law’s repeal.

Being present in Geneva is key to ensuring that Tibet remains on the UN human rights agenda, and that the voices of Tibetans continue to be heard in this important platform!

📸 Here are a few snapshots from the session.

🚨 China’s new "ethnic unity" law threatens Tibetans - the EU cannot stay silent!

This is the message from ICT President Tencho Gyatso and FIDH - International Federation for Human Rights President Alexis Deswaef in a joint op-ed published by EUobserver.

The authors urge the EU to react firmly given the serious implications of the law for Tibetans and others, including by appointing a Special Representative for Tibet to ensure a more coordinated and effective European policy on Tibet.

🇱🇹 🇪🇪 🇱🇻 Clear sign of Baltic solidarity with Tibet and call for EU action!

Earlier this month in Riga, Baltic parliamentarians from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania adopted a joint declaration calling for renewed and elevate EU support for Tibetan freedom.

The event, hosted in the Latvian Parliament, brought together lawmakers and leading voices from the Tibet movement - including ICT Chairman Richard Gere - who highlighted the shared historical experiences of the Baltic peoples and Tibet in their struggles for cultural survival and self-determination.

They also stressed the urgent need for a more coherent and proactive EU approach on Tibet, including the proposal for an EU Special Representative for Tibet and stronger parliamentary engagement across member states.

A special thanks to Juris Viļums, Chair of the Tibet group in the Latvian Parliament, for his much-needed initiative and leadership!
