As in the Tibetan saying, big insects eat small ones. Invasion of Ukraine reminds us of the invasion of Tibet in 1950. Resorting to violence is inhumane and is anachronistic in today’s world. Peace should be restored in Ukraine.

On #InternationalMotherLanguageDay , we remember the million Tibetan children forced into Chinese state-run colonial boarding schools and preschools, deprived of their right to learn their mother tongue, as well as Tibetan language advocates who are being persecuted by PRC. (1/2)

I welcome the resolution passed by Japan's House of Representatives expressing concern over the dire human rights situations, including inside Tibet. Human rights issue is a global concern and cannot be "confined to the internal affairs of a country."

I am encouraged that concerns about ongoing abuses in Tibet were raised by US Deputy Secretary of State @DeputySecState with Chinese foreign minister. I hope the Chinese leadership heeds the call and puts an end to 60 long years of repression and suffering of Tibetans in Tibet.

Open communication – even when we disagree – is critical to diplomacy. We will continue to press the PRC to respect international norms and its international obligations.

Twenty-eight years ago, on this day, an unspeakable state-sponsored crime was committed in Tibet by the PRC when a six-year-old boy was kidnapped alongside his family. This happened just days after H.H the 14th Dalai Lama recognized the young boy as the 11th #PanchenLama . (1/2)

For millions suffering oppression worldwide, including Tibetans, the European Parliament is a sanctum where their voices are not only heard but represented. President David Sassoli truly embodied the spirit and values of the European Union and remains an inspiration for us all.
