Anya Sengdra, a prominent Tibetan environmental defender and anti-corruption whistleblower, was released from Mianyang Prison on February 7, 2026. Sengdra’s seven-year sentence ended last year but Chinese authorities arbitrarily extended it by a year before suddenly releasing him last week.
Although Sengdra has returned to his family home in Kyangche (Chinese: Jiangqian) Township, Gande (Gade) County, in Qinghai, eastern Tibet. Initial accounts suggest he suffered severe health complications including vision loss, kidney disease and blood pressure problems while detained. Chinese authorities are reportedly preventing Sengdra and his family from discussing his case or sharing photos or videos of him on social media, and he is reportedly not allowed to travel to seek medical treatment.
