The Human Rights Watch (HRW) accused Chinese authorities of censoring information about the floods that occurred in Tibet. The organization argues that flood survivors have "the right to be heard" and that their stories should be publicized.
According to HRW, Chinese authorities prevented journalists from contacting families of flood victims. This restriction hinders media coverage of events and the independent verification of facts on the ground.
Tibet was hit by floods that caused fatalities, although the article does not specify the exact number of deaths or the extent of the damage caused by the flooding. The humanitarian situation in the region remains partially unknown due to restrictions imposed by authorities.
