Tibetan activist Gonpo Kyi is being beaten, harassed, and silenced for demanding justice for her brother, Dorjee Tashi, a respected businessman unjustly jailed for life.
In October 2025, after Chinese authorities blocked her from appealing to court, Gonpo Kyi was confined in a hotel and, in an act of resistance, jumped from the second floor. She’s now injured and unable to stand.
This marks Gonpo Kyi’s second such protest. On 20 August, 2025, she was seen lying injured outside a hotel in Lhasa after she jumped from a second-floor window, when Chinese authorities AGAIN denied her permission to visit her imprisoned brother, Dorjee Tashi, placing her under de facto house arrest.
These are not isolated cases. Gonpo Kyi has faced repeated harassment and detention simply for peacefully seeking justice for her brother, who has been unjustly imprisoned since 2008.
Her act of protest is a call for justice. Now, her safety, health, and freedom are at risk and the world must act.
We demand that Chinese authorities:
- Ensure Gonpo Kyi’s safety and access to medical care
- Stop all harassment against her and her family
- Release Dorjee Tashi immediately
- Respect Tibetans’ right to peaceful protest and expression
