Extra Bio Info:

Konme is detained for his religious activity. 

On July 20, 2021, police in Ngaba (Aba) county, Ngaba (Aba) Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan province, detained Konme, a monk, after accusing him of participating in "politically sensitive discussions" on social media. Reporting indicates, however, that Konme only discussed religious matters on the platform.
