DHARAMSALA, 18 Feb: “Silence would only prolong the suffering of Tibetan political prisoners,” former political prisoner Namkyi said as she testified at a Tibetan advocacy program hosted by Tibetan Initiative Deutschland, risking potential threats against her family in occupied Tibet.
“I am fully aware that by publicly sharing my testimony, my family and relatives in Tibet may face severe consequences,” Tibet.net, the official webpage of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), quoted Namkyi as saying in its report.
“However, despite these risks, I have chosen to speak out because silence would only prolong the suffering of many Tibetan political prisoners,” the 24-year-old former Tibetan political prisoner added.
Namkyi, who escaped into exile and reached Dharamsala on 28 June 2023 after her release from Chinese prison, has said that she wants “to seek support from the international community and human rights organisations to stand with the Tibetan people enduring hardship under Chinese oppression” during her first foreign visit.
