1 year ago

In an emotional reunion, award-winning Tibetan environmentalist and philanthropist Karma Samdrup, seen in a wheelchair, was reunited with his family. He was released last week after serving a 15-year sentence on widely criticised charges of grave robbing and “endangering national security.” Images of Karma circulating on social media reveal his gaunt and frail appearance, with reports confirming he is enduring severe spinal and back pain due to years of harsh prison conditions and inadequate medical care. Despite his release, he remains under strict government surveillance.
