- Description of event
A Tibetan singer named Palden has been sentenced on an unknown date a few months after his detention earlier this year in Golog (Ch: Guoluo) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, in the Tibetan province of Amdo.
The singer was apprehended after he shared a patriotic Tibetan song on the Chinese social media platform KuaiShou. He was held in an undisclosed location for an extended period before getting sentenced on unknown charges.
Tibetan singer Palden was secretly released last month, before the completion of his three-year prison sentence. Palden was released on 25 September but remains under close police surveillance. He has been warned of potential rearrest if he performs any further songs containing politically sensitive messages or connotations. There is currently no clear information regarding his health condition.
