About Us
Tibet Watch was established in 2006 to promote the human rights of the Tibetan people. We provide accurate information for the purposes of education and of engaging the public in support of the Tibetan people.
Since the invasion and occupation of Tibet in 1950, the Chinese authorities have sought to erase the identity of the country and its people, through systematic repression of political, religious and cultural freedoms. The tight control of all forms of communication by Chinese authorities and the consistent repression of freedom of speech make it difficult to obtain accurate information on the impact of Chinese policies within Tibet.
Tibet Watch gathers, analyses and disseminates the most up-to-date information available about environmental, economic, social and cultural issues in Tibet.
Broken Promises report
Human rights violations in Tibet since China was awarded the 2008 Olympic Games
Broken Promises documents the extent of China's broken Olympic promises made to the IOC and the international community. Whilst the people of Tibet continue to live in a culture of fear under Chinese military occupation, the Chinese government has treated the IOC, and its Olympic Charter, with contempt.

Uprising in Tibet
This series of reports provides a record of the information gathered and
received by Tibet Watch concerning the protests and the aftermath, which
began in Lhasa in March 2008 and spread to many parts of the country. It is
not a comprehensive record of all the protests that
have - or may yet - taken place in Tibet, but those incidents about which
Tibet Watch has received reliable information. Over time, Tibet Watch aims
to collect more details of the protests already reported as well as
corroborated information on the aftermath.
