ICT releases UN report in Tibetan
(ICT) The International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) has released a Tibetan translation of a UN human rights report related to the 2005 fact-finding mission to the PRC by Mr. Manfred Nowak, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture. The report - Breaking the Will: The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture's 2005 China Mission Report - was released at a briefing at the UN in Geneva on the same afternoon as Mr Nowak presented the mission report in person to the UN Human Rights Council. Ms Tsering Jampa, Executive Director of the Amsterdam-based International Campaign for Tibet Europe, said that the main purpose of the publication was to ensure that more Tibetans, especially in Tibet, have access to the UN report. The publication is a compilation of Tibet-related information from the UN report in three languages, Tibetan, English and Chinese.
