Dear Governor,

Message

I am contacting you to call for the immediate and unconditional release of Rinchen Kyi [仁钦吉], a former teacher at Sengdruk Taktse Middle School in Darlak County, Golog Prefecture, Qinghai Province. She is currently in detention in an unknown location.

Rinchen Kyi was arrested in Golog Prefecture on 1 August 2021 and charged with “inciting separatism”. No reason has been given for her arrest and there is no public evidence of her having committed any crime. Her arrest follows the forcible closure of her school in July 2021.
Following her arrest, Rinchen Kyi was taken to Xining, then transferred to an undisclosed location two days later. I am concerned that her disappearance leaves her at risk of torture and ill-treatment.

I urge you to use your position to:

- Immediately disclose the whereabouts of Rinchen Kyi to her family and work to ensure that she is released from prison as promptly as possible and without conditions on her freedom.

- Ensure that Rinchen Kyi is not subject to torture or any form of ill-treatment so long as they remain in prison.

- Ensure that while you are working for her release, Rinchen Kyi is permitted visits from family members, access to a lawyer and any medical treatment that she may require.

I am looking forward to your immediate action on this case.


Yours sincerely,

United States Ambassador
