President of Tibet’s government-in-exile: region is seeking autonomy not independence – video
Penpa Tsering, the president of the Tibetan government-in-exile, has told Australia’s National Press Club the region is seeking autonomy, not independence from China. ‘So one polarity is the status of Tibet, historical status as an independent state, and the other polarity is the present state of Tibet under the government of the PRC [People’s Republic of China],’ he said. ‘We are trying to seek a solution of an autonomous arrangement whereby Tibetans would have the freedom to practise its language, protect its environment, you know, and preserve its culture and religion and language. So these are basic fundamental rights, which are taken for granted in the free world [but] that does not exist in Tibet. So this is what we are asking for. We are not asking for independence’
