Pema Wangchen, a father of three, has been arrested and tortured by Chinese officials for singing the Tibetan National anthem at a public gathering in Kardze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Pema was arrested and detained for 15 days after a recording of him singing the national anthem went viral on the social media messaging service Wechat in April. One of his fingers was paralysed during the interrogation.
