@turquoiseroof.orgIn November 2012, amid a wave of #Tibetan self-immolations, Pillay warned:
“Social stability in Tibet will never be achieved through heavy security measures and suppression of human rights.”
She urged China to address underlying grievances and permit independent scrutiny.

@turquoiseroof.orgNew research finds that restoring Tibet’s degraded grasslands increases soil carbon, but much remains vulnerable to loss. The study leaves a crucial question unanswered: how do China’s fencing, resettlement, & restrictions on #Tibetan pastoralism affect ecological recovery?
@turquoiseroof.orgThis is part of a wider pattern of marginalising #Tibetan in public spaces. In 2021, @hrwchinese.bsky.social documented a systematic reversal of bilingual signage across Tibet, with Chinese characters placed above Tibetan, even in remote villages.

@turquoiseroof.orgChinese authorities removed #Tibetan language signage from Charingma Interior Design in #Chengdu on 5 October, 2026. Its manager says officials prohibited Tibetan lettering, despite many older customers being unable to read Chinese.

@turquoiseroof.orgIn 1996, #Tibetan exile Kaydor Aukatsang crossed from Nepal into Tibet for the first time, the homeland his parents fled in 1959. His account of the road to Lhasa, #surveillance, and a clandestine meeting with political prisoner Yulo Dawa Tsering is remarkable:

@turquoiseroof.org@dhongmar.bsky.social warned the #Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile that visits to Tibet can be folded into Beijing’s tourism & #propaganda strategy. Family reunions may be deeply personal, he argued, but exile #Tibetans should consider how their presence can be politically exploited.
@turquoiseroof.org@turquoiseroof.orgPhayul reports fresh concerns over jailed #Tibetan businessman Dorje Tashi. A leaked call posted by Sakar Tashi appears to capture lawyer Wang Fei challenging prison officials over denied visits, & an official linking the restrictions to internet publicity around Tashi’s alleged prison assault.

@turquoiseroof.orgNew report on imprisoned #Tibetan businessman Dorje Tashi: lawyer Wang Fei has again been denied a meeting with him. A recently released call recording reportedly indicates prison officials cited the online attention surrounding his case. His family has also been denied visits for years.
@turquoiseroof.orgThese cases show a broader system for policing what Tibetans can publicly write about Tibet.
#BannedBooksWeek 2026 runs 4–10 October. Its theme: "Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read.”
For #Tibetan writers, the freedom to read has an obvious counterpart: the freedom to write.
@turquoiseroof.orgTashi Rabten: Written in Blood
Rabten self-published this collection of essays after the 2008 #Tibetan protests. @pressfreedom.bsky.social says authorities banned it and detained him.
In 2011, an Ngaba court sentenced him to four years.
