The Chinese authorities are continuing to tighten security following days of protests by Tibetans in the main city, Lhasa, and in surrounding provinces.
Ms Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, spoke out while holding talks in northern India with the Dalai Lama.
Beijing accuses the Dalai Lama of inciting the violence.
"If freedom-loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China and the Chinese in Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak out on human rights," Ms Pelosi told a crowd of thousands of cheering Tibetan exiles, including monks and schoolchildren, in Dharamsala.
