Dharamshala — Chinese authorities forced a Tibetan official to resign after he visited a Tibetan monastery. The authorities prohibit Tibetan officials from visiting monasteries, which constitutes a violation of Tibetans' fundamental rights to freedom of belief and religion by the Chinese government. The Chinese authorities also deployed a large number of Chinese armed forces to Lhasa during the Tibetan New Year, with intensive surveillance.

Dharamshala — A-Nya Sengdra was released on February 4, 2026, after serving seven years and five months in the Chinese prison. He has returned home and been reunited with his family. Details regarding his health and the conditions of his freedom remain unknown.

Dharamshala — The Chinese government forbids Tibetan children from entering monasteries, and prevents young Tibetan children from becoming monks, forces young monks to leave monastic schools for children and forcibly places them in Chinese colonial-style boarding schools. Such practices not only violate the fundamental rights of Tibetans but also constitute acts of genocide aimed at eliminating an entire ethnic group, language, and religion.

Dharamshala — Chinese authorities dismissed a Tibetan lama from his position at the end of 2024 and arrested him shortly afterwards. He has been disappeared since then. Although the Chinese authorities have not specified the reasons for his arrest, some sources claim that it may be linked to his assistance to a Tibetan monk returned from exile and sending of money to Tibetans in exile, charges frequently made against Tibetans accused of maintaining relations with family members in exile.

Dharamshala — China's largest online and offline bookstore, Kongfuzi Jiushu Wang, has removed books on Tibet from sale, particularly those dealing with Tibetan history, documentaries on the Chinese army's occupation of Tibet and the destruction and loss of life it caused, as well as the situation in Tibet before the Chinese Communist Party's illegal invasion. This is the latest attempt to erase Tibet's history and its status as an independent state.

Dharamshala — Chinese authorities in Lhasa summoned Tibetan monks in Lhasa to a meeting on the "Sinicisation of Tibetan Buddhism". This meeting compelled Tibetan monks to work towards the “sinicisation of Tibetan Buddhism”, and strive diligently to make Tibetan Buddhism compatible with socialism. They also ordered the monks to follow the “orders of the Party”, “be grateful for the CCP,” and “follow the Party.”
