HARDtalk

Lobsang Sangay, President-in-exile, Central Tibetan Administration

Duration: 30 minutes

It is sixty years since Beijing put down the Tibetan revolt, which killed tens of thousands of people. That was also when the Dalai Lama began his long exile from his homeland. While still the Tibetan people’s spiritual leader, he relinquished political control eight years ago. Zeinab Badawi speaks to his de facto President in exile, Lobsang Sangay, who says the situation is now 'critical' and that Tibet is a 'huge prison under China’s unfettered rule'. So what are the Tibetan people’s ambitions now? And what is their strategy for achieving it from the increasingly assertive and authoritarian Chinese leadership? Show less
