Laogai in Tibet
The Laogai Research Foundation, in conjunction with the International Campaign for Tibet, the Lantos Foundation and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, is hosting a special conference on China’s forced labor prison camps in Tibet.
The “Laogai in Tibet” conference will focus on testimonies of several Tibetan survivors of the laogai – China’s system of forced labor prison camps, some of the most notorious of which dot the grasslands and valleys of Tibet. As the spate of self-immolations by Tibetans continues to make headlines around the world, this conference will be an opportunity to hear firsthand the use of the laogai as a tool of repression within Tibet as Tibetans’ cultural identity is being systematically suppressed and controlled; and the practice of Tibetan Buddhism has become so politicized and dangerous that reverence of the head of Tibetan Buddhism, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, is regularly punished by imprisonment.
