New Delhi | Seven members of the Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC) were briefly detained by the Delhi Police on Friday after they protested the visit of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to the national capital. DCP (New Delhi) Amrita Guguloth said, “Seven people, including a woman, were taken into custody.”
TYC members were protesting in front of the Hyderabad House on Ashoka Road, condemning the visit of the Chinese Foreign Minister.
TYC’s Delhi spokesperson Tsewang Gyalpo told IANS that the protesters, who were taken to the Mandir Marg police station, were released within four hours at 6.30 pm.
One of the protesters said, “While we believe that Wang’s visit is a great opportunity for India and China to advance progress, we urge Indian leaders to hold the Chinese leadership accountable for their actions in Tibet.” ”
He said that with the illegal occupation of Tibet by China, the border disputes between India and China have become more tense and the Chinese military has repeatedly tried to illegally infiltrate Indian soil.
The Chinese Foreign Minister arrived in Delhi from Kabul on Thursday night. On Friday, before leaving for Kathmandu, he met National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister S. Had separate meetings with Jaishankar.
This was the first visit by a high-level Chinese diplomat to India since the border dispute between the two countries two years ago. So far 15 rounds of military talks have taken place to resolve the issue.
TYC alleged that the current communist government in China is directly responsible for the tragic events unfolding in Tibet, including human rights violations and restrictions on freedom of religion.
“Since 2009, more than 158 Tibetans have self-immolated in Tibet. The fate and circumstances of the others are still unknown,” TYC said in a statement.
It further demanded that China be held accountable for all atrocities committed on Tibet, Uighurs as well as the people of Taiwan, Hong Kong and southern Mongolia, and unconditionally release all imprisoned Tibetan political prisoners.
TYC also claimed that it has emerged as the largest and most active non-governmental organization of Tibetans in exile, with over 30,000 members worldwide.
