Former Tibet Chairman Prosecuted for Bribery and 'Superstition'

Former Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) Chairman Qi Zhala faces prosecution for corruption and "superstitious activities" following his expulsion from the Communist Party. The 67-year-old ethnic Tibetan is accused of accepting massive bribes, colluding with businessmen for project contracts, and misusing public funds for personal gain. Authorities claim he prioritized political achievements over governance and resisted scrutiny. The Supreme People's Procuratorate has ordered his arrest, marking another high-profile removal in Beijing's ongoing purge of top officials in the region.
