US Lawmakers have urged President Donald Trump to appoint a special coordinator for Tibetan Issues at the US Department of State, a post that has been laying vacant for long. <br/><br/>In a letter to President Trump, Co-Chairs of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission,James P McGovern and Randy Hultgren along with 35 other Congressmen said the human rights crisis facing Tibetans gets worse and worse every day. <br/><br/>They said the systematic suppression of basic human rights and religious freedom most recently evidenced by the large-scale demolitions carried out at the historic Tibetan Buddhist Institute of Larung Gar, continues unabated. <br/><br/>The lawmakers urged President Trump to take the first step to focus his Administration's attention on this problem, by naming the special coordinator for Tibetan Issues, a position established by law. <br/><br/>The core purpose of the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002 , which guides US policy towards Tibet, is to support the aspirations of the Tibetan people to safeguard their distinct identity, said the lawmakerrs.
