USA plans to resettle Tibetan refugees from Nepal
(Tibet.net). The United States have announced their willingness to consider resettling Tibetans in the United States, as part of its refugee admissions program. "If approved, this program would resettle certain Tibetans living in Nepal, with all applicants requiring approval by the US Department of Homeland Security before admission. While criteria have not yet been formulated, it is currently envisioned that this program will be directed towards Tibetans who have been in Nepal for a number of years and who are particularly vulnerable".
