August 30, 2017

Around 300 Tibetans directed to leave Swiss in a fresh report from the Tibetan section of Radio Free Asia yesterday. The report informed that the immigrants resettlement camp has directed around 300 Tibetans to leave Swiss on the ground that they do not fulfill the necessary documents to seek political asylum in the country.

“The Tibetan refugees numbers are rising every year. In order to redress the distress of the Tibetans, we have discussed the issue with the office of representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Geneva and the leaders of Tibetan communities in Swiss. Since it is difficult for the Tibetans to survive in Tibet occupied China, we have Tibetans are being provided political asylum in Europe.” said the Swiss officer.

He also reported that there has been many Tibetans coming to Swiss without having proper documents to furnish and they have applied for the political asylum. In that process of reviewing their status whether they have arrived from Tibet, they have found that around 300 Tibetans can not be granted political asylum.

It is also reported that they have already ordered them to leave the country and they have also promised to bear the cost of returning expense in addition to a monetary assistance of 5000 Swiss franc to each of them.

like any nation Swiss Government has the right to do what they want but are they saying that they don’t care for the united nations charter on refugees any more, they just want to please the communists dictators of China, so that they get some investments from that corrupt Government. Shame on the current leadership of the Switzerland to loose the ethics and justice on humanity.

It is very shameful on Switzerland government and its people, to deport 300 tibetans. Bottom line is that tibetans are stateless and driven out by communist Chinese regime. Tibet was occupied forcibly by CCP of china. Switzerland government politicians should have commons sense, it does not matter whether these 300 tibetans came from India or Nepal or from any country in the world as long as they true tibetans and Tibetan race. Being stateless human being itself is prove of refugee or political refugees. It seemed Switzerland is not the Switzerland of10 years ago. Switzerland is now influenced by dictator and despot leader of China. Switzerland government does not believe in humanity and it act like Chinese communist regime.
Switzerland was the true Switzerland during hitler’s era, because they stood up on their on consciences and for the humanity.
Tibetans any where in the world have no political freedom and stateless under such circumstances Switzerland must and have responsibility to care for another humanity if Switzerland as nation and its people wanted to keep their reputation as like before.

I condemned Switzerland government its decision to deport 300 tibetans. Does it saves billion swiss franc by deporting just 300 tibetans. Every country has utmost responsibility for humanity care and every human has right to live and this applies to Switzerland government as well. Recently one tibetan has to take drastic protest by taking his own life for not providing him asylum in Switzerland. It is shameful of Switzerland government and I am total in shock and surprised it happened in Switzerland. Does white Switzerland people have race of hitler nazis? Is nazis resurrecting in Switzerland?

One reason may be that there was pressure to save money or to get rid of some in order to stop the constant flow of refugees.
