China, like its world power, is afraid of small things. This is proven from the arrest of a person trying to save the Tibetan language.
How to save Tibetan language in China? Tashi Wangchuk was involved in this jaddehad. Tashi coming from Tibetan region of Northeast China started working on saving his mother tongue. He became part of the American newspaper New York Times Documentary. Tashi went to his province from Qinghai to Beijing with the documentary team.
Tashishi was taken into custody in January 2016 shortly after news release and documentary was broadcast in the New York Times. Two years later his trial trial began.
The prosecution has accused Tashi for inciting sectarianism. If Tashi was convicted in a trial in his own city Yushu's court, he could be jailed for at least five years. According to Tashi's lawyer Liang Shiaozoon, the prosecution wants Tashi to be in jail for more than five years.
During conversation with the American newspaper, Tashi praised China's President Xi Jinping. He said that he would work on saving the Tibetan language while living under Chinese law. The prosecution wants to ignore this statement.
In fact, China always becomes very sensitive on Tibet's issue. China says that he liberated Tibet "peacefully" in 1951. And now she is developing this backward area. At the same time many Tibetans accuse China of destroying Tibet. Beijing is accused of establishing a majority of China's majority community in Tibet in a planned manner. Human rights groups allege that China is engaged in ending the Tibetan form of local culture and Buddhism by establishing a large number of Han in Tibet.
The Constitution of China has the freedom to speak, but as soon as one challenges the government's policies, difficulties start. According to human rights organizations, such suppression has increased sharply during the reign of President Xi Jinping.
International human rights organization Amnesty International has criticized Tashi Wangchuk's case. According to Amnesty's East Asia Research Director Rosanne Rieff, "These are clearly clever allegations and they should be immediately released without any condition."
