According to a report by TCHRD, The Kyungchu County People's Court issued the extension following Tsering's refusal to accept his charges. He has now been moved to a facility in Barkham (Ch: Maerkang) County, which serves as the administrative center of the Ngaba (Ch: Aba) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (TAP). Tsongon Tsering has not been allowed any communication with his family, who have also faced strict limitations.
