Activist Detained

December 22, 2018;

A 47-year-old Tibetan man, A-nya Sengdra, was beaten and taken into custody by Chinese authorities after advocating for good governance, anti-corruption, and social accountability. The activist, who is from Kyanche in Qinghai, Amdo, has been campaigning against government corruption since 2014 when he and other nomads formed a voluntary group called “Mang Dhon Ling” (Public Affairs Forum) and filed a petition calling for an investigation of Gade County authorities.
