RELEASE A-NYA SENGDRA NOW
August 13, 2025
A-Nya Sengdra is a Tibetan environmental defender and political prisoner. He is due to be released on September 4, 2025. Given China’s documented pattern of delaying releases or imposing de facto detention on political prisoners, A-Nya is at heightened risk. It is essential to act now.

Free Tibetan Political Prisoners
August 20, 2024
There are currently over 5,600 known Tibetan political prisoners. As Tibetans continue to fight for the preservation of their language, religion, and culture, the CCP retains its oppressive grasp over Tibetans through torture, surveillance, and intimidation. The Panchen Lama, Go Sherab Gyatso, A-Nya Sengdra, and Dorje Tashi’s stories serve as reminders of Tibetan strength and resistance in their struggle for freedom. Take action NOW to free these political prisoners!
