Phuntsok Seje (born 1970) was a monk from Drepung Monastery in Lhasa who became involved in a peaceful political demonstration during a period of heightened tensions in Tibet. On 10 March 1992, he, along with Phuntsok Drimed and six other monks from the same monastery, participated in a non-violent protest in Lhasa. The demonstration was part of a broader pattern of Tibetan monks expressing concerns over political and religious restrictions.

Following the protest, Phuntsok Seje was arrested by Chinese authorities. He was subsequently tried and sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment, the same sentence given to Phuntsok Drimed. While detailed information about the legal proceedings remains limited, such cases at the time were often characterized by restricted access to legal representation and limited transparency.

The other monks involved in the protest received prison terms ranging from one to six years and have since been released after completing their sentences. Phuntsok Seje’s case reflects the risks faced by Tibetan monks engaging in peaceful political expression during the early 1990s.
