Tsekar, who had written many songs on Tibetan themes, was arrested in November 2013 after attending a protest against mining in a sacred site. His charges were politically motivated and intended to silence his creative expression. In December 2013, Tsekar was sentenced to nine years in prison for “impacting state organs.” It is unclear if he has been released despite serving his entire sentence.
