Dharamshala, India  — The United States has announced a full diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing due to Chinese human rights abuses in East Turkestan, Tibet, and Hong Kong. Several other countries, including Australia, Lithuania, United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand, have already joined the move, while others are expected to join the boycott soon.

Lausanne, Switzerland — “The IOC has betrayed Tibetans, Uyghurs, Hongkongers, Southern Mongolians, and Chinese dissidents through its inaction, corruption, and willingness to side with the Chinese Communist Party despite clear evidence that the Olympics are being used to sports wash the Chinese leadership’s human rights atrocities,” said Tibetan activists.

Lucerne, Switzerland — “It is morally not justifiable to do business with a country like China, where Tibetans are tortured and systematically suppressed, millions of Uyghurs are put into concentration camps or protests in Hong Kong are brutally cracked down. Human rights must be demanded in talks with China,” said Jigme Adotsang, former President of Tibetan Youth Association in Europe(TYAE).
