Welcome to an informal lunch talk with the Tibetan president in exile Dr Lobsang Sangay. Dr Sangay is a Tibetan politician and legal scholar in international law from Harvard Law School. He has been chief executive of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile since 8 August 2011. Following the election, at the request of the 14th Dalai Lama, the Tibetan parliament-in-exile amended the organisation's bylaws to remove the Dalai Lama's role as ceremonial head of state, making Dr Lobsang Sangay its highest leader, in 2012.

According to Human Rights Watch, restrictions in freedom of religion, ill-treatment of detainees, forced abortions and extrajudicial killings are among the breaches of human rights in Tibet. President (or 'Sikyong') Lobsang Sangay will speak about these issues and the threats to Tibetan culture, as well as the growing environmental crisis engulfing the Tibetan plateau, also known as 'the world's third pole'. He will also talk about the future of Sino-Tibetan relations.

Location to be announced at Stockholm University.

Food and refreshments will be served.
