Lodoe Gyatso was secretly sentenced to 18 years in prison for staging a peaceful solo protest infront of Potala Palace in Lhasa.

(As of 07 December 2021).
Lodoe Gyatso was detained late January for carrying out a lone protest against Chinese government in Lhasa. He has since been handed over to the Sog (Ch: Suo) County Public Security Bureau (PSB) in Nagchu (Ch: Naqu) Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). This is Lodoe Gyatso’s second detention following his release from prison after 21 years in 2013.
