"Surviving + thriving — that’s a way to defy your oppressor. And keeping [Tibet] on the radar. Some people said, the book is about refugees, it must be depressing. And I say it’s the opposite. The stories in the book are inspiring." I/v with @amyyeewrites www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026...

In March 2021, Chinese authorities detained Palden Yeshi, a teacher at Kardze monastery in Kham,held him incommunicado, and secretly sentenced him without informing his family. It was not until January 2026 that his family learned he had been sentenced to six years in prison 4/4
Dargye, 63, a respected monk known for leading religious retreats and consecration rituals in #Lhasa, was detained in August 2021. For more than five years, his family and community had no knowledge of his whereabouts or welfare — a silence that contravened China’s own laws 3/4
It is the latest devt in a disturbing pattern of incommunicado detentions targeting prominent monks and educators in Tibet. In one case a family only learned of the detention of their relative when they were sent a bill for expenses incurred during his imprisonment 2/4
A Tibetan Buddhist monk who disappeared for five years has been sentenced to seven years in prison, apparently for his devotion to the Dalai Lama: new #Tibet Watch report tibetwatch.org/tibetan-monk... 1/4

China offers visa‑free entry to 77 nationalities to boost its slowing economy, but #Tibet remains a rare exception. Travel there still requires special permits, underscoring Beijing’s tight restrictions as Xi’s renewed #Sinicization campaign intensifies.
