Security Agency Flags Foreign Interference Against Immigrant Groups

New Zealand's security intelligence service has issued a new threat assessment indicating that immigrant communities are being unfairly targeted by foreign governments. The assessment cites a Tibetan activist, Gaden, who reports that Chinese operatives are monitoring Tibetans who oppose the Ethnic Unity and Progress Law. According to Gaden, the surveillance is covert, involving distant photography rather than direct contact. He claims the law seeks to eradicate Tibetan cultural identity, pointing to bans on the Tibetan flag and the removal or destruction of prayer flags from monasteries and private homes. The report also references a recent self‑immolation outside the United Nations in New York, describing it as a desperate act by a Tibetan protester. Gaden reaffirmed that the Tibetan community remains committed to peaceful advocacy for cultural preservation.
