New Delhi, December 10 – Buddhist spiriual leader, the Dalai Lama, living in exile for more than four decades, on Wednesday expressed solidarity with victims of human rights violation on the World Human Rights Day.

He was addressing a seminar here organised by independent human rights watchdog, the National Human Rights Commission.

Activists of the Tibetan Youth Congress also held demonstrations here against the Chinese government.

“We demand that there should be basic human rights in Tibet. In Tibet there is no right of expression and no right to property. China authorities violate all the human rights in Tibet. So we demand secure human rights in Tibet,” said an activist.

Another activist added: “There is no human rights in Tibet and Tibetans are being abused by Chinese so we are here to demonstrate against them. We want freedom.”

The activists urged the United Nations to take measures to stop human rights violations and implement the resolutions on Tibet.

Beijing imposed Communist rule on Tibet in 1950.

Tibetans-in-exile have been running a government in Dharamsala since the Dalai Lama fled in 1959 following a failed uprising against Chinese rule.
