Students for a Free Tibet · Full chronicle and history

On October 1, members of the Tibetan Youth Congress protested in front of the Chinese Embassy in India, chanting "Free Tibet" and demanding the repeal of the "Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress" implemented this July, the closure of boarding schools, and the release of Tibetan political prisoners. They were blocked by Indian police and briefly detained.

A Chinese human rights report quoted Students for a Free Tibet and others as saying that police told them at least one person involved in the assault was not detained because he had diplomatic immunity; lawyer Samuel Bickett said police indicated that this person was part of the diplomatic delegation for Xi Jinping's visit.

Reports from the Hong Kong Democracy Council and Students for a Free Tibet indicate that participants in the 2023 San Francisco welcoming events received about $200 per day, along with hotel, bus, and meal arrangements.
