The advocacy group also reported that Chinese authorities have placed the hospital under tight surveillance. Despite the severity of his condition, Tibetan sources told ICT that Chinese authorities have provided no financial assistance for his treatment. Chinese authorities arrested more than 100 Tibetans during the February 2024 crackdown, including monks from Yena Monastery and local residents accused of organising or participating in the demonstrations. Although reports suggest that construction of the Kamtok Dam and the planned relocations have been temporarily suspended, ICT said Chinese authorities continue to exert pressure on local religious institutions. The Kamtok hydropower project forms part of China’s wider plan to construct 13 dams along the upper reaches of the Drichu (Yangtze) River.
