Dharamshala (Himachal Pradesh) [India], March 22 (ANI): A Tibetan Buddhist monk, Palden Yeshi, who vanished in May 2021 after being taken into custody by Chinese authorities, has resurfaced years later as a convicted prisoner serving a six-year sentence in Lhasa’s Chushul Prison, raising fresh concerns over China’s treatment of Tibetan cultural figures, as reported by the Central Tibet Administration.
In a post shared on X, CTA stated that Yeshi was reportedly detained on May 17, 2021 and remained missing for nearly five years, with no official information provided about his condition or whereabouts during that period. Even now, Chinese authorities have not publicly disclosed the exact charges against him. However, sources suggest he may have been targeted for organising voluntary Tibetan language classes for more than 300 local children, an initiative authorities could have construed as a threat to state security under broadly defined laws against “separatism."
