Every year, on the 30th of August, the world observes the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances. This solemn occasion serves as a reminder of the countless individuals who have been torn from their families, their lives shattered by the cruelty of enforced disappearances. In particular, this year, we commemorate over 112,000 individuals who have fallen victim to this grave violation of human rights.

Free Lhundrub Drakpa

Lhundrub Drakpa is a popular Tibetan singer from Driru County in Nagchu, central Tibet. In March 2019, he released his song “Black Hat", which criticises CCP policies, singing how "the voice of the six million Tibetans is gagged" and lamenting the "sorrow of the people of the Land of Snow". By May 2019, he had been arrested. After more than a year in detention, during which time he was beaten, Lhundrub Drakpa stood trial and, in June 2020, was sentenced to six years in prison. His current location is unknown.
