Lhundrup Drakpa, a popular singer from Driru County, has been sentenced to six years in prison by Chinese authorities after he performed a song critical of repressive government policies. Drakpa’s song “black hat” was released in March 2019. He was arrested two months later and held for more than a year in pretrial detention before being sentenced in June 2020. Authorities said Drakpa’s song was a “crime against humanity.”
