Democracy Day

September 2, 2020;

The Kashag has released a statement celebrating 60 years of Tibetan democracy. On this day in 1960, the first elected representatives of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile “inaugurated the Tibetan democratic system.” The Tibetan constitution based on ideals of democracy and universal values followed in 1963. The statement contrasted their democratic policies with the authoritarian regime in Beijing and called on the Chinese to “acknowledge the failure of its policies.”
