HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH RELEASES ITS ANNUAL REPORT OF 2014 The Human Rights Watch has released its annual report in which it has published human rights violation data of more than 90 countries and territories around the world of the year 2014. The report on Tibet comprised summarized narration on political, cultural, religious and socio-economic rights violation of Tibetans that incorporates topics such as self-immolation, forceful rehousing of nomads and intensely growing application of repressive policies in Tibet. In the report, it states that,“The Chinese government systematically suppresses political, cultural, religious and socio-economic rights in Tibet in the name of combating what it sees as separatist sentiment. This includes nonviolent advocacy for Tibetan independence, the Dalai Lama’s return, and opposition to government policy. At the time of writing, 123 Tibetans had self-immolated in protest of Chinese policies since the first recorded case in February 2009. Arbitrary arrest and imprisonment remains common, and torture and ill-treatment in detention is endemic. Fair trials are precluded by a politicized judiciary overtly tasked with suppressing separatism. The government also took significant steps to implement a plan to station 20,000 new officials and party cadres in the TAR, including in every village. Since 2006, over two million Tibetans, both farmers and herders, have been involuntarily “rehoused”- through government ordered renovation or construction of new houses”. Human rights watch is a New York based non profit, non governmental human rights organization that incorporate various resources to promote human rights and justice around the world.
