Dharamshala — Chinese authorities in central Tibet continue to force Tibetan children to undergo military training in the name of "education for the national defence". Children aged five to eleven are forced to run long distances, climb mountains, jump over high barriers, and perform other training exercises.

Dharamshala — The Chinese government has officially renamed Tibet to so-called “Xizang” in order to erase Tibet from the present world and history. “When you write Tibet on social media, the word Tibet is automatically replaced with ‘Xizang’ or deleted,” said a Tibetan writer from Tibet. This move further intensifies the suppression of Tibet and its identity.

Dharamshala — The National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays will last from Wednesday to October 8, 2025 throughout China. Several state-controlled media outlets have claimed that this extended holiday period allows Chinese citizens to enjoy eight days off to travel and relax. However, in contrast, stricter restrictions were immediately imposed in the occupied territories, particularly in Tibet, East Turkistan, and Inner Mongolia, under pretexts such as illegal driving, lack of driver's licenses, or overloading vehicles with passengers.

Dharamshala — Local Tibetans from the Ralung area in Gyangze County, Shigatse, Tibet, described their fear and terror when the Chinese artist's toxic fireworks were set off on the snow-covered, pristine mountain in their region. They said: “When the fireworks were set off, I felt like there was an earthquake, my whole body was shaking. The smell in the air was extremely acrid and my eyes were burning.”

Dharamshala — The fireworks display in the mountainous areas of Gyantse County, Shigatse City, Tibet have drawn criticism from many Tibetans. They believe the actions of Chinese artists have damaged Tibet's fragile ecological environment, harming wildlife, water sources, and grasslands. One Tibetan stated: "This fireworks show has destroyed the last pristine land on Earth—Tibet."

Dharamshala — A high-ranking Tibetan lama, Tulku Palden Wangyal, from Choegyal Monastery in Gonjo County, eastern Tibet, died in a Chinese prison on July 19, 2025, after suffering brutal torture and inhumane treatment for seven to eight years. China had arrested him for working for the welfare of the local Tibetan community, advocating for the preservation of Tibetan culture, Tibetan identity, and teaching the importance of unity by discouraging internal conflicts among Tibetans.
