The EFAy has written to the Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China (PRC), Minister Yang Jiechi, informing him of the resolutions passed relating to his Government, at the EFAy General Assembly on April 12th 2008.

In particular the EFAy called on Minister Yang Jiechi for his Government to renew contacts with envoys of the Dalai Lama and to respect the human rights of the Tibetan people, in particular their right to self determination. The EFAy also urged the PRC to release all Tibetan political prisoners with immediate effect and strongly condemned the incidences of imprisonment, torture, forced sterilisation of Tibetan women, rape, forced labour, restrictions on religious observance, restrictions on the use of Tibetan language, restrictions on the expression of Tibetan culture; pointing out that these actions may constitute genocide under international law.
