Tibetan Group Criticizes China's New Ethnic Unity Law

A Tibetan advocacy group in India said that a new Chinese law, called the Ethnic Unity and Progress Law, is hurting Tibetans.

The law started on July 1, 2026.

The group pointed out that a Tibetan activist, Lobga Rangzen, died after setting himself on fire in front of the UN in New York on July 2, 2026.

They say the law limits Tibetan language, culture, and religion.

The group also warns that the law could lead to more spying, arrests, and even people being sent to prison.

They want the world to notice and help Tibetans keep their identity and freedom.

They also ask for the Dalai Lama to return to Tibet.

The group says the law is part of a bigger plan to make Tibet part of China.

They are worried about the environment and water that comes from Tibet.

They want people to understand that Tibet is not just a part of China but has its own culture and history.
