Dharamshala, 20^th July: On Monday, a group of protestors from Hong Kong, Japan, and China, including Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, and human rights activists, demonstrated against Beijing’s human rights violations and called on the international community to boycott the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Yesterday, more than 30 people demonstrated outside the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo for more than an hour. The campaigners and concerned individuals emphasized that the ‘Genocide Olympics’ had only 200 days left, according to bignewsnetwork[ANI].

They pleaded with the international community to intervene and save the lives of ethnic minorities in mainland China and the political and civil rights of Hong Kong residents. The demonstrators pointed out that while Japan will host the beautiful Olympics in four days (starting July 23), China will host the Genocide Olympics in 200 days. They also delivered a memorandum to the Chinese Embassy, pleading with China to stop violating human rights. The ‘Executive Committee Protesting the Holding of the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games’ organized the protestors under the banner.

In China’s Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Uyghurs makeup about 45 percent of the population and have long faced cultural, religious, and economic discrimination. According to US authorities and UN specialists, up to one million people, or roughly 7% of the Muslim population in Xinjiang, have been detained in an increasing network of “political re-education” camps.

While in Tibet, Chinese authorities are preparing to tighten their grip on Tibetan Buddhism, prohibiting monasteries from providing traditional monk instruction, which is an important aspect of Tibetan Buddhism. Instead, monks and nuns are exposed to frequent “patriotic education” and other political efforts that are profoundly opposed to Tibetan Buddhism’s essential precepts.
