On July 8, Tsongon Tsering, 30, a Tibetan environmental defender, was released from the Ngaba County Detention Facility in Sichuan Province. Reportedly emaciated and in poor health, he had completed an eight-month sentence on baseless charges of “inciting social unrest” and “subverting the state.”
What had actually prompted this detention? In October 2024, he posted a video documenting illegal sand and gravel mining that identified the company responsible for the environmental degradation. The video went viral, and Tsongon Tsering was arrested.
