Tibetans Cut-off from Family-Friends

June 13, 2020;

Tibetans have been blocked from using the WeChat mobile application to contact friends and family living outside of Tibet. Monks and nuns living in India are reported to have been targeted “at the request of the Chinese government”, cutting them off from their connections inside the country. The move follows an earlier investigation into “between 4,000 and 5,000 households in Tibet with family ties to exiles in Nepal and India”.
