To the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk:

We are horrified by the reports of China's policy of forcing Tibetan children to be indoctrinated into boarding schools until they forget their language, culture and religion. They face physical abuse, as well anxiety and depression. The Chinese government is trying to cover it up, but you have the power to launch an investigation to get the truth into broad daylight, and stop the erasure of Tibetan culture.

Stop China's indoctrination of Tibetan children!

Three out of four.

That’s how many children China is forcing into boarding schools in Tibet, where they face abuse and are indoctrinated until they no longer speak the same language as their parents.

Many of these children often spend weeks or even months without seeing their parents, who say they’re simply not allowed to visit. Cut off from home, Tibetan children are only taught Mandarin and the love of the Chinese Communist Party, until their culture and religion is erased.

Now China is trying to cover it up while rooting out Tibetan culture for 1 million children. That’s where we come in.

Reporters just exposed the scandal thanks to brave Tibetan experts and teachers – and a UN investigation could force the truth of China’s indoctrination schools into broad daylight. Tibetan activists want to bring this call to the UN rights chief in days, before he addresses the Human Rights Council – and a big petition will get his attention! Sign and share now.

Avaaz is backing the call to the UN human rights chief from a coalition of activists fighting for Tibetan rights led by: 
  • International Tibet Network
  • Students for a Free Tibet
  • Tibet Action Institute
  • Tibet Justice Center
  • Tibetan Youth Association Europe

PS: The photo, which has been used in the press before, is of a Tibetan child in Lhasa in 2009.
