On March 10, 2026, Tibet commemorated the 67th Tibetan National Uprising Day in Dharamshala, where an international delegation of dignitaries gathered to express solidarity with the Tibetan people.

During the press conference, Michael Brand emphasized the urgent need to raise global awareness about the threats facing Tibetan culture and language. He stated, “Never give up, the time will come,” highlighting the resilience of the Tibetan community.

Jiří Oberfalzer condemned China’s actions in Tibet, describing them as multiple crimes against humanity. Hans-Gert Pöttering underscored the principle of self-determination for the Tibetan people, while Juris Vilums drew parallels between the Tibetan struggle and that of Ukraine.

In addition to the press conference, Tibetans held peaceful demonstrations worldwide, with approximately 100 members of Tibet Support Groups from 32 countries participating. This annual commemoration has been observed since the uprising in 1959, which resulted in the deaths of around 86,000 Tibetans.

The Chinese government has faced accusations of attempting to erase Tibetan identity through various education policies. Reports indicate that around one million Tibetan children are separated from their families and placed in state-run boarding schools, raising concerns about cultural assimilation.

Earlier in March, the 39th Annual Tibet House US Benefit Concert took place at Carnegie Hall, featuring performances by Robert De Niro, Elvis Costello, and Jesse Malin, who all aimed to raise funds for Tibet House US. Jesse Malin remarked, “This is a crazy time, so it’s good to be here with so many people whose hearts are in the right places.”

Sophie Richardson highlighted the ongoing efforts by Beijing to erase a distinct Tibetan identity, stating, “The first is Beijing’s efforts to erase a distinct Tibetan identity.” This sentiment resonates with many advocates for Tibetan rights, who continue to call for international support.

The events of March 10 serve as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for Tibetan autonomy and cultural preservation amidst ongoing tensions with the Chinese government. As the international community continues to rally for Tibetan rights, the voices of those advocating for change grow louder.
