Profiling Tibetan Political Prisoners Brief Profile: Tibetan monk Palden Yeshi, 52, was subjected to enforced disappearance by Chinese police beginning 17 May 2021, his whereabouts remaining unknown for nearly five years. He is currently serving a six-year sentence in Chushul Prison in Lhasa. While no formal charges have been publicly disclosed, it is likely the CCP targeted him for organizing voluntary Tibetan language classes for over 300 local children, activities likely framed as "inciting splittism" under the charge of "endangering state security." Throughout his disappearance, Yeshi's family faced systematic harassment and intimidation and were warned to cease their search. His brother was detained for over a week, subjected to interrogation and physical beatings, while his elderly father, Sonam Tsewang, suffered chronic anxiety and passed away on 29 September 2022, never having learned his son's fate. Yeshi's case reflects a broader pattern of rights violations in Karze Prefecture, where the CCP has conducted a systematic campaign of cultural erasure, including mandating in 2024 that all primary and middle schools terminate Tibetan language instruction while conducting opaque judicial proceedings with little transparency and no due process.
