進一步認識圖博: 培力與再串聯 – 2025 台灣工作坊
Closer to Tibet: Empowerment and Reconnection for the Movement – Taiwan, 2025

We, the undersigned 30 participants of ‘Closer to Tibet: a workshop on empowerment and reconnection for the movement’, comprising youth activists and students from Tibet, Uyghur, Taiwan, Taiwan indigenous and Taiwan second-generation immigrant communities, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, condemn the over 70-year occupation of Tibet and express our solidarity with the Tibetan people and their struggle to restore their rights under international law to determine Tibet’s political, economic, social, religious, and cultural status.

We acknowledge the unique challenges faced by Tibetans living under Chinese rule and recognise their resilience in maintaining their distinct national identity and culture. We believe all people deserve fundamental freedoms and the right to practice their traditions without fear of persecution. We particularly value Tibet’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage, embodied by Tibetan Buddhism.

We stand in unwavering support of His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, and his leadership. Furthermore, we strongly believe in the inalienable right of the Tibetan people to choose their own spiritual leaders, including the next Dalai Lama, without interference from the Chinese government. This is a fundamental right to freedom of religion and culture and is a crucial aspect of Tibetan identity. Any attempt by the Chinese authorities to control or influence this process is unacceptable and a violation of these fundamental rights.

We stand in support of the Tibetan people’s right to peacefully express their aspirations and call on the Chinese government to engage in meaningful dialogue with representatives of His Holiness the Dalai Lama or the Tibetan Government in Exile leaders to resolve the conflict caused by the People’s Republic of China’s illegal invasion of Tibet and occupation of Tibet.

Similarly, we believe that Hong Kongers, Taiwanese, Malaysians, and other communities affected by China’s sharp power and neo-colonialism are entitled to undisrupted agency and self-determination and, under this premise, engage in equal and reciprocal exchange with China.

We resolve to strengthen our support for Tibet by continuing to work with our cross-movement allies.

2025 台灣圖博工作坊宣言

主辦單位：國際西藏網絡
協辦單位：西藏台灣人權連線、台灣自由圖博學聯

我們，共同參與「近一步認識圖博：培力與再串連」工作坊的成員，共30位來自圖博/西藏、維吾爾、台灣、台灣原住民、在台移民二代、香港、馬來西亞的青年運動者及學生，共同譴責中共政權對西藏70年以來的佔領，並表達對西藏人民的聲援及根據國際法恢復其權利的奮鬥，西藏人應該有決定自己的政治、經濟、文化、社會及宗教的權利。

我們承認生活在中國統治下的西藏人面臨獨特的挑戰，也驚艷他們在維護民族認同和文化的韌性。我們相信，所有人都應享有基本自由和實踐自身傳統，而不必擔心遭受迫害的權利。我們尤其珍惜藏傳佛教所體現的西藏豐富精神文化遺產。

我們堅定不移的支持第14世達賴喇嘛丹增嘉措及他的領導。 此外，我們也堅信西藏人民擁有不可剝奪的權利，可以選擇自己的精神領袖，包括下一任達賴喇嘛，而不受中國政府的干涉。 這是宗教和文化自由的基本權利，也是西藏認同非常重要的面向。中國當局控制或影響這一進程的任何企圖都是不可接受的，也是對這些基本權利的侵犯。

我們支持西藏人民和平表達訴求的權利，並呼籲中國政府與達賴喇嘛尊者的代表或藏人行政中央（西藏流亡政府）領導人，能夠進行有意義的對話，以解決中華人民共和國非法入侵和占領西藏所造成的衝突。

同樣的，我們也認為所有受到中國銳實力／新殖民主義影響的香港、台灣、馬來西亞及其他人民，也應當擁有不受干預的主體性，並在此前提下與中國進行對等交流。

我們決心與跨運動盟友合作，加強對圖博的支持。
