Tulku Hungkar Dorje, a widely respected religious leader and philanthropist, was reportedly detained by Chinese authorities in early 2024. In August 2024, Chinese officials claimed he had “gone missing” shortly after he gave a public teaching on 21 July 2024.
This timeline seems contradictory. He was detained in early 2024, but then gave a public teaching in late July 2024? And then he went missing, under a prolonged detention?
Sources indicate
Yes, the anonymous sources
fabricated charges
I'm sure I can trust western media to be unbiased
Additional accusations included “disobeying higher authorities” for his philanthropic work of establishing monasteries and schools, and “causing disturbances” for advocating for the rights and freedom of marginalized Tibetans under the repressive Chinese rule.
Oh, I guess not
The detention, torture, and killing of respected leaders like Tulku Hungkar Dorje is a deliberate strategy to silence those who advocate for Tibetans’ fundamental rights.
Really laying it on thick huh? There are no pretensions, just accepting the worst speculations and accusations as fact without any investigation. Truly lib behavior.
rip bozo
the throne holder
Did he maybe considered... not holding the throne?
They've had a budget cut, so they have to go back to tried and true successes. Nothing gets libs going harder than a "Free Tibet" sign.
this is all bullshit. Trump deported him to El Salvador and he's in the mega concentration camp there
Thought it was Anthony Fantano
I thought it was Dave Matthews
"Yeah! This is America and we don't tolerate 'suspicious circumstances'! If you want to destroy a civilization you gotta do it loud and proud with as much cruelty as you can muster!"
@Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org is still getting his USAID checks it looks like lol.
Holy shit some of the comments over on their posts are wild
Mark my words. The ccp will source the reincarnation too and try to claim authority over that branch of Buddhism.
How terrible! That power should be reserved for the literal theocratic slave state that was in charge before the revolution!
I also love how such articles says literally entirety of Tibetan culture and identity is just their religion, and it's specifically the CIA funded-part of their religion. Identical take as the worst of Polish christofash.
And just like in Poland, it isnt even the native religion of the culture.
Unlike Ukraine who totally didnt try to do that with breaking away from the See of Moscow!
USAID gets fully disbanded by september
Many expressed emotional tributes highlighting his contributions in preserving Tibetan culture and providing educational opportunities to thousands of underprivileged children, but few expressed doubts, reflecting widespread suspicion of the circumstances surrounding the revered religious leader’s death in Chinese custody.
"[B]ut few expressed doubts"... as in, "Only a few people were concerned about the circumstances of the guys's death."
I think the arcticle probably meant to say "but [a] few expressed" or "but several expressed" as in, "The guy's sympathizers were generally concerened about the circumstances of the guy's death."
I think they're trying to imply that few doubted there was foul play; "few expressed doubts" because most of them were certain the Chinese government tortured him to death in a basement!!! But they're maintaining plausible deniability (because that doesn't actually match their narrative in which Tibetan people would supposedly be afraid to say that out loud).
But yeah, it's weirdly written. And forgive me if I'm not losing a lot of sleep over the fate of a "throne holder".
