The US government’s international religious freedom report 2021 has stated that police surveillance of Tibetan refugees in Nepal remained high throughout the year. 

In some cases, the number of security personnel monitoring Tibetans and the scrutiny of Tibetan cultural and religious celebrations, particularly those involving the Dalai Lama, increased, says the report.  

The report further states that Tibetan community leaders again said government authorities generally permitted them to celebrate most Buddhist holidays in private ceremonies but prohibited the public celebration of the Dalai Lama’s birthday and continued to curtail their ability to hold other public celebration

The Ambassador and visiting U.S. government representatives met with government officials to express concern regarding restrictions on the country’s Tibetan community, says the report.   Embassy officials met with civil society groups and government officials to discuss the challenges of registering and reregistering religiously affiliated NGOs and other NGOs, the report further reads.  Read the Nepal report here : https://www.state.gov/reports/2021-report-on-international-religious-freedom/nepal/
