The group's president Gonpo Dhundup said, "Today, all of our chapters across the globe are organising protests against China. We call upon people to boycott products made in China."
"We strongly object all the Chinese intrusions, human rights abuses, and lies and misinformation by the Chinese government which led to COVID-19 pandemic and resulted in huge loss of lives across the globe," Dhundup added.
