Dharamshala (Himachal Pradesh), January 05 (ANI): Tibetan Parliament in-exile condemned China after imposition of its recent sanctions over Canada’s organisations and 20 individuals. The sanctions target the Uyghur rights advocacy project, the Canada Tibet Committee and 20 individuals associated with the organisations. The deputy speaker of the Tibetan Parliament in-exile, Dolma Tsering, said that the decision shows how far the Chinese Communist regime's hands can go. She urged nations of the United Nations and all free democratic nations to stand up against this and not delay in condemning China's action. Namgyal Dolkar, a Member of the Tibetan Parliament-in-exile, says, “I see this as a definite threat that China is extending for a nation that holds a Veto power in the security council of the United Nations. For it to be so scared of an independent organisation working in Canada, basically shows how it remained scared despite being this territorial regime any sort of voice against it is being looked upon as a threat and I believe that such an important nation that holds a security council position to take such decisions. So far we have only seen it come up with sanctions against members of the parliament around the world but it’s for the first time we have seen it imposing sanctions on an NGO and individuals working there. So it is just very shameful on the part of China but it’s China so what else to expect? What is threatening in a way is the fact that I see this sort of trend spreading across different countries, there are possibilities that any form of voices against the Chinese communist party will be treated the same way. It started in Canada and it will extend to different nations including India, this is how I look at it. There are so many Tibet-based NGOs in India who are working constantly in exposing China and I see that as a coming trend in the near future...”
