Key points

The European Parliament strongly condemns the repressive assimilation policies used in Tibet and other minority regions.
A massive boarding school system has reportedly separated about one million Tibetan children from their families.
The schools focus on mandatory Mandarin education, which leads to the loss of Tibetan language, history, and cultural identity.
UN experts have warned that these practices may amount to genocide due to the erosion of social and individual identities.
