DHARAMSHALA, Dec. 30: A Chinese court has sentenced a Tibetan named Lhundup Dorje from Machin in Golok Prefecture earlier this month on Dec. 14. The Tibetan nomad was sentenced to one-year prison term by the Golog Prefecture Intermediate Court on the charges of “inciting separatism” by posting and forwarding content deemed illegal by China.
The posts included picture and teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama on his Weibo and WeChat accounts on Feb. 5, 2019. The 30-year-old reportedly posted a New Year’s greeting video wishing the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), or the Tibetan government in exile on his Weibo account which was viewed 2,383 times. He also shared a 10-second video of the Tibetan spiritual leader with his circle of friends on WeChat.

A Tibetan nomad was jailed this month by a court in northwestern China’s Qinghai province after being convicted of promoting “separatism” for posting photos and teachings of Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on social media, Tibetan sources said.
Lhundup Dorje, 30, was handed a one-year prison, to be followed by a one-year deprivation of political rights following his release, by the Golog People’s Intermediate Court on Dec. 14, a source in Tibet told RFA’s Tibetan Service.
“Chinese authorities arrested Dorje on July 23, and he had already been held in detention for five months before he was sentenced,” RFA’s source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
