The Tibetan exile community and human rights organizations are demanding answers following the suspicious death of esteemed Tibetan Buddhist leader Tulku Hungkar Dorje while in Chinese custody. The 10th abbot of Lungngon Monastery in Golog, Amdo, Tulku Dorje had fled Tibet in September 2024 after increasing harassment from Chinese authorities, only to be arrested in Vietnam and secretly handed over to Chinese agents. Within days, he was dead.
Sources report that Tulku Dorje was detained in Ho Chi Minh City on March 25, 2025, and transferred to Chinese custody. By March 28, he had died under unexplained circumstances.
