Renowned Tibetan author Thupten is serving a 4-year-sentence for allegedly “inciting separatism.” He was first arrested in October 2021 due to his political commentary on platforms like Weibo and QQ. Most of Thupten’s work was on socioeconomic difficulties and the political situation in Tibet. In June 2024, he was hospitalized for a serious illness while in custody. Authorities claimed he was receiving treatment, but they withheld information about his diagnosis and the hospital’s location, raising concerns about his health and well-being.
