His conviction was revealed only recently, when his family received invoices for expenses incurred during his imprisonment.

It has banned Tibetan children from learning their language, visiting monasteries or becoming monks, and prohibited the construction of new monasteries. It is enforcing new policies and prohibiting the display of Tibetan thangkas and the wearing of Tibetan hats. This is the latest policy implemented by the CCP.
