Tsewang Rigzin
Tsewang Rigzin is the current president of the Tibetan Youth Congress.[1] He has held the position since September 2007, and on August 8, 2008 he was re-elected to serve through August 2013. Prior to attaining his current position he served as the president of the Portland/Vancouver regional chapter of the Tibetan Youth Congress.[2]
Mr. Rigzin has been an outspoken critic of the Middle Way Approach to solving the problem of the Tibet situation,[3] and has instead advocated for complete independence for Tibet.[4] In this, he and the Tibetan Youth Congress are in disagreement with the Dalai Lama,[5] who advocates for autonomy for Tibet within China.[6]
