Kunchok Tsephel, founder of the Tibetan literary website Chomei, was arrested in 2009 and sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of disclosing state secrets, though the specific reasons for the charge remain unclear. He was released in March 2022 under restrictive conditions that limit his movement and activities. During his imprisonment, his family visits were heavily restricted, and they were forced to speak in Chinese, which hindered effective communication. Tsephel has been deprived of his political rights since his release.
