The National Council of Churches in India (NCCI), which represents around 13 million Christians across the country, at a meeting recently held in Bangalore adopted a statement on Tibet, supporting Tibetans' "struggle for freedom against the occupation by China," a member of the Tibetan Parliament, Karma Yeshi, who attended the event said here today.
The NCCI had expressed concern over the "denial of basic human rights of Tibetans such as learning their own language, promoting their culture and self affirmation," he said.
In the meeting, the Tibetan MPs raised issues related to Tibet, including the ecological crisis on the plateau, the lack of religious freedom and human rights issues, he said. PTI CORR
