Indian police detained and dispersed dozens of protesters after Tibetan Youth Congress activists staged a demonstration outside the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi, calling for a free Tibet and condemning Chinese rule.
The protesters carried posters featuring Rangzen Lobga, a Tibetan activist who died after self-immolating outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City on July 2, 2026.
Demonstrators shouted slogans including "China Out of Tibet" and "Free Tibet," demanding greater international attention to the Tibetan cause and human rights issues.
Police moved in shortly after the protest began, removing activists from the area and preventing them from approaching the embassy entrance.
Security was tightened around the Chinese diplomatic mission as officers escorted several protesters away from the scene.
The Tibetan Youth Congress said the demonstration was intended to honor Rangzen Lobga and draw global attention to the situation in Tibet.
The protest comes amid continued tensions over Tibet, with activists around the world calling for greater political and cultural freedoms in the region.
Authorities in New Delhi have not commented in detail on the detentions, while the demonstration once again highlighted the sensitive nature of Tibet-related protests involving China.
