China accused of extending abuse as Tibetan Activist A-Nya Sengdra leaves prison gravely

Feb 14, 2026

Tibetan environmental campaigner and anti-corruption whistle-blower A-Nya Sengdra has been released from a Sichuan prison in fragile health, but fresh reports indicate that Chinese authorities continue to keep him under tight surveillance and restrict his access to medical care. Sengdra returned to his home in Kyangche Township after completing his jail term earlier this month. However, his freedom is said to be heavily curtailed. He and his relatives have allegedly been warned not to discuss his imprisonment, grant interviews, or circulate photographs or videos online. Travel outside the area, even for urgent treatment, is also said to require permission, as reported by Phayul.
