Chinese authorities have secretly sentenced sixty-three-year-old Tibetan monk Dhargye to seven years in prison, ending years of uncertainty regarding his whereabouts. Police arrested Dhargye in Lhasa in August 2021. Officials accused him of offering prayers to the Dalai Lama and helping fellow monks escape Tibet. Despite early police assurances to locals that his release was imminent, his actual condition remained hidden until now. Before his arrest, Dhargye was a highly respected figure at Sera Monastery, known for leading religious consecrations. This secret sentencing underscores Beijing’s continued crackdown on religious freedom and arbitrary detentions within the region.
