"Radio Free Asia" (RFA) quoted sources on the 2nd to disclose that the Chinese government has imposed "communication control" on residents of Luhuo County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, prohibiting locals from contacting the outside world, in order to forcibly suppress the long-term resistance of local Tibetans. According to reports, China has oppressed the religious freedom of Tibetans in the territory for many years. Starting from 2021, large Buddha statues in Luhuo County have been demolished one after another, which has aroused stronger resistance from the local people. A source revealed to RFA, “Since January this year, the local government of Luhuo County began to warn local Tibetans not to communicate with the outside world. Their mobile phones will be searched arbitrarily, and they will be restricted from any form of information exchange with the outside world. Allow to contact loved ones or send money."

The London-based Tibetan human rights organization "Free Tibet" (Free Tibet) and its research organization "Tibet Watch" (Tibet Watch) released a report in January accusing the Chinese authorities of escalating oppression of Tibetans in Luhuo County, demolishing important religious buildings, and committed many serious violations of human rights.

Another Tibetan revealed that after the CCP appointed Wang Dongsheng as the secretary of the Luhuo County Party Committee in October 2021, the experience of the local Tibetans has worsened. There are more and more security measures such as communication control, and there are powerful people in the monastery. All were forced to undergo "re-education" courses.

Since 2008, residents of Luhuo County have continued to rise up against the government, but they have also been violently suppressed, including large-scale crackdowns in 2009 and 2012.
