Summary:  Lobsang Lhundup, also known by his pen name Dhi Lhaden, is a famous Tibetan writer, who was secretly arrested by security officials in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in June 2019. Following the 2008 uprising in Tibet, he wrote a book titled “The Art of Passive Resistance” in which he was critical of the Chinese rule in Tibet. Those close to Lhundup suspect that his arrest is linked to his involvement in teaching Tibetan history at a private cultural education centre in Chengdu.
