Canada wishes His holiness the Dalai Lama a happy 90th birthday. As an internationally respected spiritual leader and an honorary Canadian citizen, the Dalai Lama is a recognized human rights and religious freedom advocate.

According to 昨天, Peng Lifa was sentenced to 9 years, because of his peaceful Sitong Bridge protest in 2022 that sparked the nationwide youth-led “White Paper” Movement. Peng has since been known as the “Bridge Man,” a nod to the Tiananmen Square “Tank Man.”

Tohti Emet, an elderly farmer, was sentenced to 25 years in 2022. His son, Abdurahman tohti, only now knows this, after more than 3 years, as he had no contact with home. Chinese govrnmnt should immediately and unconditionally free hundreds and thousands of unjustly imprisoned Uyghurs.

It’s been 8 years since Liu Xiaobo, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, died in captivity. On the anniversary of Tiananmen Massacre last month, I recited a verse from his poem for this Human Rights Watch video. We remember his courage, his struggle for peace. We remember his “Tomb,” and his legacy.
