A MOMENT FOR EUROPE TO LEAD
A Tibetan Appeal During the Stand for Tibet: European Alps Tour 2026
The appeal follows the death of Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen, also known as Lobsang Palden, who died following an act of self-immolation outside the United Nations headquarters in New York on 2 July 2026. At the time, the activist was carrying a Tibetan flag and calling for freedom for Tibet.

TWO TIBETANS LAUNCH EUROPEAN CAMPAIGN TO PUT TIBET BACK ON THE INTERNATIONAL AGENDA
Stand for Tibet: European Alps Tour 2026 will reach 32 European countries through a coordinated letter campaign, with in-person advocacy in key European cities
(LONDON – 9 September 2026)
Two Tibetans living and working in the United Kingdom are launching the Stand for Tibet: European Alps Tour 2026, a peaceful advocacy initiative calling on European governments, European Union institutions and the United Nations to restore sustained international attention to Tibet and support renewed dialogue towards a peaceful political settlement.
Tenzin Dakpa, an independent researcher and Tibetan entrepreneur based in London, and Dawa Tsering, a former Council Member of the Tibetan Community in Britain and Hertfordshire-based entrepreneur, are undertaking the initiative independently and self-funding the costs of their European tour.
The campaign will have an advocacy reach covering 32 countries in Europe – all 27 European Union Member States, together with the United Kingdom, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The two campaigners will not travel to all 32 countries on this leg of the campaign tour. Instead, the bulk of their outreach will be conducted remotely through a coordinated programme of letters, emails, petition submissions and follow-up communications with governments, parliamentarians and institutions across Europe. They departed London on Wednesday(Lhakar), 9th September and return on 22nd September after their two weeks tour.
With support from the Global Alliance for Tibet & Persecuted Minorities (GATPM), the campaigners will also travel to a select number of key European cities – expected to be at least six countries – to seek meetings with relevant officials and representatives and, where possible, personally hand over letters and petition materials.
