DHARAMSALA: The Tibetan government-in-exile has asked the United Nations and the Amnesty International to help Tibetans living in Nepal in conducting their elections.
The appeal came days after the Nepalese government disrupted the general election of Tibetans in Nepal by allegedly confiscating ballot boxes during the first round of voting on October 3.
The deputy speaker of the Tibetan government-in-exile has written a letter to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navanthem Pillay and the director of London-based Amnesty International.
The Tibetan government-in-exile appeals to the United Nations and the Amnesty International to help release the ballot boxes from the police authority of Nepal and to ensure that the Tibetan Diaspora community is able to continue to democratically elect their own representatives and the Prime Minister, the letter said.
