The two prominent activists – Kyinzom Dhongdue from Australia and London-based Tsering Passang call on the Tibetans in diasporas to engage proactively and challenge the Chinese regime.
Kyinzom Dhongdue is the first Tibetan-Australian to run for public office in Australia and she wants to run for a Senate seat in Australia’s Upper House of Parliament.
Dhongdue hopes that her candidacy would bring more attention to Tibet’s struggle from across the continent of Australia.
She admitted that her chances of obtaining a seat in the next election are poor, but she is grateful for the great support she has received from her own community and others.
She also stated that her political campaign is only getting started and asked for everyone’s support in her New South Wales constituency.
Notably, Kyinzom Dhongdue is a former Tibetan MP who represented the Tibetans living in the Australasia region from 2015 to 2020 at their parliament in Dharamsala, the headquarters of the Central Tibetan Administration (de facto Tibetan Government-in-exile).
He also called on the Tibetan Buddhist leaders to condemn the Chinese authorities for demolishing Buddhist statues and forcing monks and nuns out of their monasteries in eastern Tibet late last year.
