Tsering Passang / 12 December 2025
On Human Rights Day, the North America Rally for Tibet brought hundreds of supporters to the heart of the international stage – the United Nations Plaza – culminating in a daylong show of solidarity that began with a nearly 100-car convoy from Philadelphia. Organised by a coalition of Tibetan associations and advocacy groups, the rally aimed to spotlight ongoing concerns regarding China’s policies in Tibet and to amplify calls for freedom, dignity, justice, and human rights.
Among the many prominent speakers, one voice stood out with particular emotional force: Anastasia Lin, the Chinese-Canadian human rights advocate and former Miss World Canada, who delivered a profoundly personal and reflective speech that resonated across the diverse crowd.
