It has been a privilege serving the United States as Assistant Secretary. The caring people I’ve met, the insightful conversations I’ve had, and the countless things I’ve learned fill me with hope for the future. Thank you for supporting human rights and dignity!

Spoke with Chairman of @SaveTibetOrg Richard Gere today to underscore the U.S. Government’s serious commitment to support Tibetan human rights. The depth of the CCP’s interference in Tibetan Buddhism and culture is frightening. We support meaningful autonomy for Tibetans.

PRC actions against Uyghurs and other minority groups in Xinjiang are a horrifying attempt to eradicate their centuries-old culture, crush population growth, and eliminate religious beliefs. We demand the PRC stop this genocide now, before these horrors are truly irreversible.

Individuals who undermined Tanzania’s democratic process are not welcome in the United States. @SecPompeo has imposed visa restrictions to hold accountable those responsible for Tanzania’s flawed October 28, 2020 general elections. go.usa.gov/xAvCa

Speaking with women Tibetan journalists, I heard their experiences reporting on Tibet and its people. Their dedication to providing vital information in often difficult circumstances is a positive example for women around the world. fb.watch/31oFWoeg-8/

Alarmed by the arrest of Belarusian journalist Andrei Aliaksandrau. Sadly, this is only the latest example of the Lukashenka regime's disdain for media freedom. We call on Belarusian authorities to release Aliaksandrau and other journalists imprisoned for their work immediately.

It was my great honor to speak with His Holiness @DalaiLama. I have long admired his peaceful dedication to teaching Tibetan Buddhist traditions. We reject attempts by any government to limit the freedom of religious communities to select their own leaders. #FreedomOfReligion

I met with artisans from the Norbulingka Institute to learn about Tibetan culture. Their traditions in woodwork, painting, textiles, and more must be preserved. Grateful for the institute’s work keeping Tibetan traditions alive and helping artists. fb.watch/2_LRSKNM2B/

Forced labor is a human rights abuse. Kudos to @FCDOGov @tradegovuk, & @ukhomeoffice on their measures to prevent UK businesses from inadvertently supporting forced labor in Xinjiang and elsewhere in China, which the CCP uses to repress Uyghurs and others. #StandUp4HumanRights
