"Arunachal In China": Indian Woman's Post On Shanghai Airport Harassment | Read

A woman from Arunachal Pradesh has accused the Chinese authorities of detaining and harassing her at Shanghai airport after refusing to recognise her Indian passport as valid during a transit halt. In a series of posts on the microblogging site X, Pema Wang Thongdok said immigration officials at Shanghai Pudong Airport detained her for "eighteen hours" on November 21, claiming her passport was "invalid" as her birthplace, Arunachal Pradesh, was "part of China".

Thongdok was reportedly travelling from London to Japan on November 21 when she landed in Shanghai for a three-hour layover.
