西藏作家迪拉丹被囚禁4年后出狱，但外界对他的身心健康状况感到担忧，这种担因有关他目前状况信息的获取有限而加剧。
除了媒体报道外，西藏人权与民主促进中心的消息来源已确认了迪拉丹出狱并返回住处，对此很多藏人感到高兴。然而，由于中国政府对他及家人等其他人员实施了严格限制，并以阻止与外界分享任何信息，目前无法立即获得关于他当前的身心状况的全面信息。
自2019年6月以来，他遭受了长达2年的秘密拘留，然后在2021年秘密被判处4年徒刑。迪拉丹被以“扰乱社会秩序”的模糊指控而被捕，这一指控通常用于针对人权捍卫者和活动人士。迪拉丹尽管在今年6月出狱，但有关他出狱的信息被推迟了2个月后被外界获悉。这可以看作是中国当局采取的“措施”的表现，是为了限制有关他释放和目前身心状况的信息传播。
The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) released yesterday the second book written by underground Tibetan writer Dhi Lhaden, the courageous former monk and intellectual based in Amdo, Tibet.
Originally composed in Tibetan and titled Tungol Trimtug (‘Resistance Through Cooperation With Law’), it has been translated into English with a new title ‘The Art of Passive Resistance’. This is Lhaden’s second book, translated and published by TCHRD.
In this book, Dhi Lhaden explores themes such as the rule of law, freedom, peace, equality, non-violence, and looks to public figures known for their approach of peaceful resistance such as the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and George Washington.
The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) is pleased to present an exclusive preview of Dhi Lhaden’s new book titled ‘The Art of Passive Resistance’, now translated into English.
Dhi Lhaden is a Tibetan monk, intellectual and writer born in 1980 at Dida Village in Pema (Ch: Baima) County, Golog (Ch: Guoluo) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (Qinghai Province), in the Tibetan province of Amdo. Originally named as Lhaden (popularly called Dhi Lhaden), he is also known by his ordained name, Thubten Lobsang Lhundup. At 11, he was admitted to his local monastery and four years later joined Serthar Buddhist Institute in Serta County, Kardze (Ch: Ganzi) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (Sichuan Province). At 28, he went to Lhasa for further studies at Drepung and Sera Monastery but had to cut his studies short.
