Former political prisoner Dhondup Wangchen was nominated for the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize by Rasmus Hansson, a member of the Green Party. Hansson stated that the filmmaker is “the memory of the Tibetans’ obvious demands for human rights.” Wangchen, 47, was detained by Chinese authorities in 2008 and imprisoned for six years for making a documentary featuring interviews of Tibetans speaking about living under China’s repressive regime.
