Each member is given one minute to discuss the resolution.
“We discussed the current critical situations in Tibet, including the Chinese communist regime's aggressive policies in Tibet and the deteriorating environment, and demanded that the Chinese government respond positively to the 157 self-immolation call, as well as allowing an independent international youth group into Tibet to investigate the ground reality,” said Sonam Tsering, TYC’s general secretary to TPI.
