Tibetan Protest (2011)

The Tibetan Protest of 2011 refers to demonstrations by Tibetans expressing their desire for greater autonomy, cultural preservation, and human rights amidst ongoing Chinese government control. Following the death of the 14th Dalai Lama’s successor process, tensions increased as Tibetans voiced frustrations over religious restrictions, environmental concerns, and political repression. These protests, often involving marches and gatherings, highlighted the Tibetan community’s resilience and their call for international support, despite facing strict surveillance and crackdowns by Chinese authorities. The movement underscores longstanding issues of cultural identity and political freedom in Tibet under Chinese rule.
