Season’s Greetings from Global Alliance for Tibet & Persecuted Minorities

London, 24 December 2024 / GATPM

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As we reflect on another impactful year, we at the Global Alliance for Tibet & Persecuted Minorities extend our warmest wishes to you and your families. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Your unwavering support has enabled us to achieve significant milestones in 2024, advancing our mission to advocate for justice and freedom for Tibetans and other persecuted communities worldwide. This year’s highlights include:

• Collaborating with the American Bar Association (ABA), which in August passed a historic resolution on Tibet, recognising the need to address human rights abuses and promote justice for the Tibetan people as per the UN resolutions. This milestone was achieved through our sustained advocacy and strategic efforts over the past two years.
• Exposing Chinese influence on cultural institutions, such as British Museum and museums in Paris, to challenge the inappropriate use of “Xizang” in place of “Tibet,” ensuring Tibet’s rightful identity remains intact.
• Opposing the construction of China’s “super-embassy” in London, a development that threatens local democracy and signals Beijing’s growing interference.
• Advocating for Tibetan refugees in Nepal, underscoring their urgent need for protection and international support.
• Engaging with policymakers in the UK to push for a comprehensive audit of China’s human rights abuses, while amplifying the voices of persecuted communities, including Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, and Hongkongers.
• Continuing our efforts to combat the Uyghur genocide, support Taiwan’s democracy, and uphold freedom and justice for all persecuted minorities.

These accomplishments are a testament to the collective strength of our supporters and partners. Your commitment has been pivotal in ensuring these critical issues remain on the global agenda.

As we look forward to 2025, your continued support will be vital to sustaining our efforts and achieving greater impact. Together, we can bring about meaningful change for those who are denied justice and freedom.

Thank you for standing with us in this journey. May this festive season fill your homes with peace, love, hope, and joy.

Warm regards,
