Shokjang was arrested in 2015 and sentenced to three years in prison for inciting separatism, evidenced by his blog posts about police violence and possession of pro-Tibet books, according to the state. He was released in March 2018 but remains subject to surveillance. Authorities cited writings on religion, an essay recounting police searching his hotel, and six books found on his phone, including Wang Lixiong’s Sky Burial, as evidence against him. He is the author of four books, one of which, The Courageous Path, has been officially banned in China.
