Dharamshala (HP), Feb 18 (ANI): The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD), an organisation based in Himachal Pradesh’s Dharamshala, released a report revealing Chinese authorities' surveillance of exile Tibetans to collect personal information. TCHRD Spokesperson Tenzin Dawa on February 18 claimed that the Chinese Communist Party targeted the Tibetan diaspora using family members back inside Tibet to control.“The spying aspects are just one part of the findings of my report so the report that we have just released is actually one of the first to focus on the transnational repression led by the CCP on the Tibetan diaspora communities. In the international communities, there have been a lot of discussions on the kind of repression that's being faced transnationally by the so-called Chinese overseas, including the Uyghurs, Hong Kongers, and Taiwanese, but there has been no sort of report dedicated to the kind of repression that the Tibetans in the diaspora have been facing for so long…TCHRD felt the need to first of all document these issues because transnational repression, is not new to the Tibetan community. The CCP has targeted the Tibetan diaspora, using family members back inside Tibet to control and sort of undermine the legitimacy or functionality of the Tibetan overseas organisations,” said Tenzin Dawa. “When you do lots of wrong things, you take others in the same way... They are hiding lots of things about what's happening in Tibet and in mainland China as a whole from the world…Tibet is cut off from the rest of the world. Why? Because they have lots of things to hide... The violation of not only human rights in the name of conserving nature, but also national parks are coming up… The centuries-old nomads are relocated because they want to make Tibet into a slaughterhouse to raise consumption for the tourism that is inflowing into China so they're hiding all these things but what do we have in exile? We are as transparent as we can be. We just have the truth with us….,” said Dolma Tsering Teykhang.
