Dharamshala, 9th December: According to the Kathmandu State New, Nepal’s government plans to issue asylum certificates to the refugees living there, but this time mainly to the Bhutanese people. The Nepalese government has made it clear that there is no asylum certificate for Tibetan refugees. As per Zangpo, the spokesperson on human rights groups in Nepal, as the news came out, the Nepalese government decided to issue a refuge certificate to the remnants of Bhutanese, and there was no information on the Tibetans in Nepal.
In the past, in 1995, the Nepalese government stopped issuing refuge certificates for Tibetans, and then the relevant social departments of Tibetans requested the Nepalese government to issue refugee certificates to Tibetans frequently. But so far there is no decision taken by the Nepalese government.
This time, the Nepalese government planned to issue a refugee certificate to 429 Bhutanese people in Nepal. Later, these refugees can go to college, work, do business, etc. therefore will be more convenient.
According to the United Nations’ Refugee Unit, there are currently 6,365 Bhutanese refugees in Nepal.
Nepal and Tibet are connected, and there are estimated to be 12,540 Tibetans in Nepal. According to Nepal’s estimate, there are 4,000 Tibetans in Nepal who do not have a refugee ID card, and they are having difficulties for their children to get into high school, find work, do business.
But The Secretary of the Interior of Nepal, Tek Narayan Pandey, explained to Kathmandu’s new agency that There has been no decision on the issuance of asylum certificates to the Tibetans.
But another Nepalese official said that western countries, led by the United States, are pressuring Nepal to grant refuge ID to Tibetan refugees in Nepal. Earlier this year, a U.S. Foreign Office spokesman also cited the need for timely distribution of refugee Certificates to Tibetans to the Nepalese government.
After the Chinese government occupied Tibet in 1959, thousands of Tibetans came to Nepal to seek refuge. Gradually, the diplomacy between China and Nepal has been close, and Nepal’s one-China policy has been strengthened. It is believed that Tibetans are strictly engaged in political movements in Nepal. At the same time, around 1994, Nepal stopped issuing asylum certificates for Tibetans.
