B. Whereas the Regulations on Religious Affairs restrict contact with overseas religious institutions and travel abroad, limit the amount of donations, and mandate that the religious publications comply with guidelines of the Chinese Communist Party鈥檚 Propaganda Department;

C. Whereas the Administrative Measures for Religious Clergy require religious groups to 鈥渟trengthen political education鈥� and clergy to pledge allegiance to the CCP and 鈥減ersist in the direction of the Sinicization of the country鈥檚 religions鈥�;

D. Whereas the Measures for the Administration of Tibetan Buddhist Temples of 1 December 2024 further tightened state control over Tibetan Buddhism;

E. Whereas the CCP鈥檚 United Front Work Department exercises direct control over all aspects of Tibetan Buddhism, including the recognition of lamas, the management of religious venues, organizations, personnel, and educational institutions; whereas the PRC government claims ultimate authority over the appointment of the next Dalai Lama;

F. Whereas since 1994 PRC authorities have reportedly carried out widespread 鈥減atriotic re-education鈥� in Tibetan Buddhist communities, restricted religious practices, destroyed sites and symbols, persecuted clergy, and detained individuals for honouring the Dalai Lama;

G. Whereas Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, then six years old, disappeared along with his parents from their village in Tibet on 17 May 1995, just three days after being recognized by the Dalai Lama as the eleventh reincarnation of the Panchen Lama, and his whereabouts remain unknown;

H. Whereas these violations of religious freedom and efforts to 鈥淪inicize鈥� faiths reflect broader discriminatory policies against ethnic minorities, consistent with similar repression in other regions, notably against Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang;
