#Tibetan lama Hungkar Dorje Rinpoche died in #Vietnam in March 2025 after reportedly fleeing Tibet and being detained there.
The circumstances of his death remain unclear, and #Tibetans are calling for an independent investigation tchrd.org/2026/03/27/a... #transnationalrepression
Then it gets wider. One post in the study, with nearly 32,000 upvotes, constructed explicit solidarity between Han Chinese men and white American men as fellow victims of ' #identity politics', with Native Americans cast as the parallel to #Tibetans.
Representative Thinlay Chukki joined a #Prague conference on the #Sinicisation of #Tibet, warning of ongoing repression inside Tibet & #transnationalrepression targeting #Tibetans in Europe. The event was organised with @sinopsis.cz and Czech academic partners: tibet.net/representati...
Detained for 6 months reportedly just for sending money abroad, #Tibetan monk Zega Gyatso has been released, but remains under #surveillance and in poor health.
Even small links beyond China’s borders can carry serious risks for #Tibetans:
#Tibetans are increasingly monitored online. In one recent case, @tibetwatch.org reported that a young monk was arrested after sharing information linked to the #Tibetan government-in-exile on #WeChat. He later died in custody under suspicious circumstances

Citizen Lab’s unique vantage point on #transnationalrepression comes from combining deep technical research on spyware and #surveillance with long-term engagement with targeted diaspora communities (initially #Tibetans), revealing both the methods *and* impacts of digital repression:
China’s new “Ethnic Unity” law raises concerns about its potential impact on cultural and linguistic diversity, particularly for communities such as #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, and #SouthernMongolians, who have already been affected by restrictive policies.

China’s proposed cybercrime law could reach far beyond its borders, targeting #Tibetans & critics abroad for online speech.
Experts warn it may expand #transnationalrepression, blurring the line between “cybercrime” and dissent, and chilling free expression globally. www.rfa.org/tibetan/sarg...
The risks of China’s dangerous dam-building in Tibet: the impacts of China’s move upstream on the Machu/Yellow River
In Derge, #Tibetans protested dams that could flood villages and monasteries, and were met with police repression.
Turquoise Roof also warns of growing disaster #risk from dam-building in a seismic, glacier-fed regions:

In past, UN experts have said China’s policies toward #Uyghurs, #Tibetans & other groups looks more like assimilation.
This new law risks further undermining their rights.
#China must respect the rights of ethnic communities to maintain their languages, cultures & religions.
Transnational Information Suppression (silencing critical voices outside #China) is flagged as a 'key concern' of Chinese #FIMI.
Targets include #diaspora individuals and their families. It straddles FIMI & human rights/ #transnationalrepression against #Tibetans #Uyghurs & #HongKong

🧵 The EU's foreign affairs service just published its 4th annual report on foreign information manipulation. #FIMI
It identifies China's #Spamouflage network as active here on #Bluesky (大家好!) It touches on the targeting of #Tibetans. A thread on what it says:
#Tibetan Parliament was presented with a proposed ₹3,407.42 million (~US$40M) CTA budget for 2026–27 .. up just over ₹100M (~3%) on last year 📈
Spending focuses on administration, welfare, education, and cultural preservation for #Tibetans in exile.

The police last year detained a #Chinese student advocating for #Tibetans while overseas, Tara Zhang Yadi, on suspicion of separatism, according to a group urging her release. #华语青年挺藏会
One of the most problematic features of the new law, in terms of the international community, is its extraterritorial scope. The #PRC has ramped up its use of transnational repression, and the #CCP can use the law to prosecute #Tibetans outside of #China, too.

#Czech Senate Vice-Chair Jiří Oberfalzer urged China to respect basic human rights while speaking at a meeting of international Tibet support groups, encouraging continued international advocacy for the rights and freedoms of #Tibetans. www.rfa.org/tibetan/worl...
In Tibet today, even using a phone can get you arrested.
Chinese authorities have detained #Tibetans for “phone and internet-related offenses,” according to Human Rights Watch www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...
On the anniversary of the 1959 Lhasa uprising, the world must not look away. #Tibetans are still facing #surveillance, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, & punishment for peaceful expression. Silence helps repression. Remember #Tibet:
