Abhinandan MishraPublished : March 9, 2019, 6:36 pm |Updated : March 9, 2019, 6:39 PM New Delhi:  The Baloch National Movement (BNM), which is fighting to free Balochistan from Pakistani occupation and make it an independent country, wants the Indian government to recognise the Pak province, situated on its western borders with Iran, as a sovereign country and states that it is the right time to bring into existence a government-in-exile that can function from Delhi till the time Balochistan achieves freedom. “ The Baloch National Movement is prepared to run the government-in-exile from a place in India as decided by the government of India. Pakistan is ruling Balochistan through gun and death. Despite abduction and killing of our leaders and cadres, we are fighting for a separate Balochistan along with other groups. This is not an individual struggle but is being carried out by the people,” BNM chairman Khalil Baloch told The Sunday Guardian. BNM is the largest Baloch nationalist

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE In advance of the March 10 anniversary marking 60 years since the start of a popular uprising whose suppression provoked the Dalai Lama's flight from Tibet in 1959, Freedom House has published the Tibet chapter of its flagship  Freedom in the World 2019   report. Like certain other territories, including Hong Kong, Tibet is assessed separately in  Freedom in the World . With a score of 1 out of 100, it remains one of the most harshly governed places on earth. Read the  Freedom in the World 2019  Tibet chapter  here .  Freedom House also examined the effects of Communist Party rule on Tibetan Buddhism in its comprehensive 2017  report on religious revival, repression, and resistance in China under Xi Jinping. Today, two years later, the level of religious persecution of Tibetan Buddhists remains "very high," and the trajectory of suppression continues to worsen, even as many Tibetans maintain their devotion to the Dalai Lama and the distinctive f

Is Chinese feminism losing momentum?   Lǚ Pín 吕频, a leading feminist activist and thought leader for over 20 years who is currently based in the U.S., thinks so. Today, in honor of International Women’s Day — and exactly one year after the government shut down Lü’s influential Feminist Voices (女权之声 nǚquán zhī shēng) communications platform —  SupChina published an exclusive interview with Lü . A key passage: No one can foresee the future of Chinese feminism at this point. The movement is clearly losing momentum, though some people refuse to admit it. We’ve passed the pinnacle of the #MeToo movement, where Chinese feminists achieved unprecedented success. The #MeToo movement brought the public’s interest in Chinese feminism to an unprecedented peak, but the buzz is gone and the energy has been exhausted. While people are still talking about women’s issues on the Chinese internet, I don’t know how soon the next wave of collective activism will take place.

Gerry Shih of the Washington Post  reports that Huawei today announced “it has sued the U.S. government to challenge a law that bans federal agencies from buying its telecommunications equipment, opening a new front in the metastasizing global contest between the Chinese technology giant and Washington.” “The U.S. Congress  has repeatedly failed to produce any evidence to support its restrictions on Huawei products. We are compelled to take this legal action as a proper and last resort,” said a Huawei executive at a press conference to announce the suit. “The Framers of the United States Constitution  were deeply concerned about the potential abuse of legislative power,” begins Huawei’s complaint. It argues, “One of the Framers’ particular concerns was that the legislature would use its power to target specific individuals for adverse treatment,” adding that the U.S. government’s treatment of Huawei is an instance of this, and therefore unconstitution
