China ‘secretly sentences’ Tibetan monk to 7 years, raises rights concerns

A Tibetan monk detained in Lhasa in 2021 was secretly sentenced to seven years in prison by Chinese authorities, according to a report by Tibet Times (TT), cited by ANI, raising fresh concerns over alleged rights violations in Tibet.

The monk, identified as Venerable Dargye, was taken into custody on August 5, 2021, along with two others, a relative named Tsering and a nun, Choekyi. While the two were released within months, Dargye’s whereabouts remained unknown for years, with no official confirmation of his legal status or condition.
