Listening to Tibetan Voices | 10 October Workshop Reflections
On 10 October, young Tibetan activists in exile Tenzin Rabga from Free Tibet and Kunsel from Students for a Free Tibet joined participants from different backgrounds to discuss Tibetan history and cultural identity, colonial occupation, Indigenous justice, and cross-movement solidarity.
What does Tibet mean to Tibetans? How do Tibetans in exile stay connected to their homeland? How can communities build understanding and solidarity across differences?
Beginning with the contested names Tibet and Xizang, we explored the Dalai Lama’s significance in everyday Tibetan life, exile’s impact on younger generations, and how successive generations navigate setbacks, change, and hope within their movements.
We reflected on connections between Tibetans in exile and those in Tibet, and how different lived experiences, social circumstances, and political perspectives create both possibilities and difficulties for mutual understanding.
Revisiting the 2022 Sitong Bridge protest and White Paper Movement, we discussed collective action, persistent differences, and the challenges of building relationships among Tibetan, Chinese, Uyghur, Hong Kong, Taiwanese, and other communities.
The conversation was not about resolving every disagreement, but creating space for different experiences and perspectives to be heard and taken seriously. Solidarity does not require the absence of difference; it asks us to keep listening, talking, and exploring what is possible together.
Thank you to our speakers for generously sharing their experiences and reflections, and to everyone who joined, asked questions, and listened with care.
We hope to keep creating spaces where communities can meet, deepen mutual understanding, and explore possibilities for solidarity and collective action.

Oct, 10th 【吉隆山洪背后: 听听藏人的声音 | Behind the Kyirong Flood: Listening to the Tibetan Voices】
一场山洪泥石流，为什么会引发一场关于“边境”的争议？
当我们谈论这场灾难时，我们说的是中国—尼泊尔边境，还是西藏—尼泊尔边境？
作为离散中国人，我们如何理解“藏独”？又该如何打破对西藏与藏人的刻板印象，与离散藏人展开真正的对话？
你是否好奇，藏人如何看待中国、中国汉人，以及中国离散社群？
中国人与藏人之间，能否跨越历史、政治与身份的隔阂，建立真正的团结？
10月10日，China Deviants 将邀请两位来自藏人社群的青年行动者 Rabga 和 Kunsel 做客。
他们都出生于流亡中的藏人家庭，成长于为西藏自由而奋斗的社群之中。我们希望从他们的故事、经历与政治实践出发，一起聆听年轻一代藏人的声音，也一起思考：
当我们来自不同的历史与政治处境，跨越彼此之间的隔阂，学习彼此的抗争，并肩走向团结，是否可能？
欢迎加入我们，一起倾听，提问，交流。
Why would a flash flood triggered by glacial collapse spark a dispute over a border?
When we talk about such a disaster, are we talking about the China–Nepal border, or the Tibet–Nepal border?
As members of the Chinese diaspora, how do we understand ‘Tibetan independence’? How can we move beyond stereotypes about Tibet and Tibetans, and have genuine conversations with Tibetans in exile?
Have you ever wondered how Tibetans see China, and Chinese people?
Is solidarity between Chinese and Tibetan communities possible across the historical, political, and social divisions between us?
On 10 October, China Deviants will be joined by two young activists from the Tibetan community, Rabga and Kunsel.
Born into Tibetan families in exile, both grew up within communities struggling for a free Tibet. Through their stories, experiences, and political work, we hope to listen to the voices of a younger generation of Tibetans—and reflect together on a difficult but important question:
When we come from different histories and political realities, can we cross the divides between us, learn from each other's struggles, and build solidarity together?
Come join us to listen, ask questions, and share.

Today, the 49th day of Bardo for Lobga Rangzen, we are here because we are Chinese.
We believe every single Chinese with conscience should stand for a FREE & INDEPENDENT TIBET.
As Chinese living under a repressive regime, we know what does it feel like to live without freedom, although our suffering is only a drop in the ocean of Tibetans’ suffering, but we believe that Chinese people can never be free, if Tibetans are not free!
Bhoe Rangzen Gyalo!
Free Tibet! Justice for Lobga Rangzen!

亲爱的 Tara 张雅笛：
今天是妳二十三岁的生日。
我们不知道看守所中有没有人会对妳说一句生日快乐，也不知道妳能不能看见夏天的阳光。
二十三岁，本来应该是什么样子？或许是在准备新的学期，或许是在旅行，或许是在和朋友一起吹灭蛋糕上的蜡烛。然而，你的二十三岁，却是在铁窗后面。
希望妳知道，世界没有忘记妳。希望妳知道无论是藏人、还是汉人、还是其他族群的大家，都在你背后支持妳。妳一直以来为之努力的藏汉交流，在今天真的在以种种不同的方式实现着。过去几个月来，汉人族群的我们越来越看到藏人与维吾尔人所遭遇的一切。
今年，我们收到了来自很多地方的生日祝福。也许很长一段时间内，妳都无法收到这些祝福，也无从得知外界所有记得妳的声音。但冥冥之中，一定有什么东西将大家与妳的心连起来。
等妳回来，我们再一起补过这个生日。
🎂 生日快乐，Happy Birthday Tara!!!

【Content warning / 内容提示：self-immolation 自焚抗议】
几天前，Lobga Palden (Lobga Rangzen) 留下遗言后在纽约联合国总部外自焚，为西藏的自由发声。
在伦敦中国使馆前，我们悼念 Lobga Rangzen，也试着向使馆工作人员解释：为什么一个藏人会以自焚的方式抗议。
火焰燃起时，他仍然向前走着。
那不是绝望，而是一个人在痛苦、愤怒与信念之中，用他所能做的一切，把藏人的声音喊到最大。
愿西藏自由。
A few days ago, Lobga Palden, also known as Lobga Rangzen, left his final message and self-immolated outside the UN headquarters in New York, calling for a free Tibet.
Outside the Chinese Embassy in London, we gathered to commemorate him, and to explain to embassy staff why a Tibetan would choose to self-immolate as a form of protest.
As the flames rose, he kept walking forward.
It was not only despair. It was pain, anger, faith, and determination — a person using everything he had left to make the Tibetan people’s voice impossible to ignore.
Free Tibet.

🎂 Tara的生日就要到了！
一星期后的7月7日，Tara #张雅笛 将迎来她23岁生日。去年的这个时候，她还在期待即将开始的 SOAS 校园生活、期待与朋友们的相聚、期待她一直相信的汉藏交流。但如今，她已被羁押近一年。我们不知道她在看守所中会如何度过这个生日，也不知道她是否会知道，世界上此刻仍有许多人在惦记着她。
今年，我们想邀请你，一起送给Tara一份生日礼物。你可以用手指拼出她的名字，在你所在城市留下一张照片；可以用水在地上写下生日祝福，让这份祝福短暂地停留在阳光下；也可以写一段话、一张明信片，告诉她，在遥远的地方，仍有人等待着她回来。
政治犯最容易被夺走的不只是自由，也是时间。当一个人被迫与世界隔绝的时候，外面的四季仍然照常更替，生日、节日、约定，都会在人们的生活中悄悄流逝。因此，记得一个人的名字，本身就是可以跨越空间的陪伴；让她知道自己没有被遗忘，也是一种微小却真实的力量。
如果你愿意参与，请在7月7日前将照片或文字祝福私讯本帐号，或寄至 [email protected]。若公开分享，也请根据自身情况做好安全考量。
愿今年生日，世界各地的人们，都能一起轻轻地唤一声她的名字。
🙌 Happy Birthday, Tara. We are still here.

Today, The Guardian published a report on how I was targeted with AI-generated sexual abuse after speaking out around Tiananmen commemoration.
This is not only about me. It is about transnational repression, gendered harassment, and how X failed to respond when such abuse is reported.

2026年的六四纪念，我在现场讲到年轻中国异议者所面对的处境：跨国镇压、对家人的威胁、网络骚扰、恐惧、孤立，以及那些长期累积、却不总是容易被看见的心理影响。
我也唱了《亚细亚的孤儿》。这首歌来自台湾的历史经验，但那种被时代、国家与身份抛下的感觉，在六四的现场，与我们这一代流亡者和异议者的处境产生了回声。
我希望有一天，天安门能有一座六四博物馆。不是因为我们在等待谁允许我们记忆，而是因为六四本来就属于公共空间，属于人民的公共记忆。
At the 2026 June Fourth commemoration, I spoke about the challenges young Chinese dissidents face today: transnational repression, threats to our families, online harassment, fear, isolation, and the quiet psychological impact that builds over time.
I also sang The Orphan of Asia. Although the song comes from Taiwan’s history, its sense of being abandoned by history, the state, and identity deeply resonated with our generation of exiles and dissidents.
I hope that one day, there will be a June Fourth Museum in Tiananmen — because this history belongs in public space, and in the public memory of the people.

小提醒：从伦敦市中心去 Sutton 大约需要30分钟到1小时，大家记得提前安排交通时间。
Travelling from central London to Sutton may take around 30 mins to an hour, so please plan your journey in advance.
Sutton 附近有不少美食，大家可以早点过去，先吃个晚餐，再一起参加六四纪念。
You can arrive earlier, have dinner first, and then join the commemoration together.
附近推荐 / Nearby recommendations:
✅ 跑马地冰室 Happy Valley Cafe：港式茶餐厅，份量超大 / Hong Kong-style cafe, very generous portions
✅ ii-ma sushi：很棒的日料，店主人很好 / Lovely Japanese food, very kind owners
✅ 小娘惹 Little Nyonya：港人开的娘惹菜，下午三点关门 / Hong Kong-owned Nyonya food, closes at 3pm
六四的绝食，是一代人在绝境中用身体喊出的抗争。今天的我们也许不是在绝食，却常常在压力和焦虑中忘记吃饭。
The hunger strikes during June 4th were a generation’s cry of resistance. Today, many of us are not on hunger strike, but we often forget to eat amid pressure and anxiety.
来 Sutton 之前，记得先好好吃一顿饭，照顾好自己。
Please eat something and take care of yourself before coming.
我们要记住，也要继续活着；要悼念，也要彼此接住。
We remember, and we keep living. We mourn, and we hold each other.

🇺🇳 联合国人权理事会：NGO介绍张雅笛案，称她面临酷刑风险。
2026年2月21日至3月31日，联合国人权理事会 @UN_HRC 第61次会议在日内瓦召开。
3月3日，在Item 3 - 与酷刑问题特别报告员的互动对话期间，国际声援西藏运动 @SaveTibetOrg 的 Vincent Metten 代表赫尔辛基人权基金会介绍了藏区发生的系统性酷刑与虐待问题。他援引了 #张雅笛 案、2019年在羁押期间死亡的 #Norsang、以及2024年在释放三天后死亡的 #GonpoNamgyal，作为北京当局系统性实施酷刑的案例。
关于张雅笛的状况，Vincent Metten 援引了国际人权联合会 @fidh_en 的报告称，她在看守所中无法与外界通讯，无法接触家人与律师，处于酷刑和虐待的严重风险中。
ICT也随后报导了这次发言。
