Nearly one million Tibetan children have been separated from their parents and sent to live in colonial boarding schools.
Cut off from their homes, their families, their language, and their way of life, they are subjected to intense political indoctrination in an attempt to alienate them from their identity.
China's plan is to re-engineer Tibetan society and identity with devastating impacts.
As more Tibetan language and community schools are being forced to close, this issue is only growing larger with each passing day.
The United Nation's High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, must take action now.
In the words of Dr. Gyal Lo, a leading expert on these schools: “The Chinese government is tearing families apart and forcing these vulnerable children to become strangers to their own Tibetan culture.”
