Citizens of Tibet and users of the Tibetan captivity group who rely on it for entry to Tibetan content are upset that the Chinese government has shut down a well-known Tibetan language website.  ,
The site and its associated Twitter website have been blocked by authorities as a result of an official statement released on April 2 by the executive of Luktsang Palyon, or” Tibet Sheep,” in English, and he has filed a formal attractiveness for them to re-establish it.
” The state has entirely blocked access to Luktsang Palyon”, said the superintendent, who did not want to be named for health reasons.  ,
Over the past few years, Chinese officials have ramped up efforts to restrict the use of the Tibetan speech, with clampdowns on relevant sites, institutions, websites, social media platforms, and apps, as Beijing pushes forward with absorption policies in Tibet.  ,
There is little chance that the situation will change, according to a man inside Tibet who is aware of the situation and who also declined to get identified.
If restored, Luktsang Palyon will maintain the right of artists are upheld, but if the demand is declined, it did “fully agree with the decision of the government”, the superintendent said in a speech.  ,
The software also stressed the need for copyright protection and the truthfulness of the articles published on its website.
Luktsang Palyon, which was founded in March 2013, has become a trusted resource for Tibetan writing both domestically and internationally. It has focused on issues relating to Tibetan language and culture.  ,
It has published about 10, 000 pieces of informative articles, Tibetan articles and stories, song lyrics, Tibetan- Foreign translations and sound information.
The Tibetan scholarly area suffers a major loss and is concerned about shutting down this program because it has been a frequent source of content, according to Beri Jigme Wangyal, a literature professor and author at the , Central University of Tibetan Studies in Varanasi, India.
In recent years, authorities have blocked other Tibetan-language websites.
In 2022, the , China- based language learning app Talkmate , and video- streaming service Bilibili , removed the Tibetan and Uyghur languages from their sites following a directive issued by Chinese authorities.  ,
Later that same year, the creators of a popular Tibetan- language , short video- sharing app called GangYang , shut it down, citing financial reasons.
Rights groups claimed that the decision was likely motivated by a Chinese government order to end the app as Tibetan authorities intensified efforts to impose restrictions on using their own language.  ,
