Tate–Voloch conjecture on torsion points and subvarieties

From papers

Let KK be a field complete with respect to a non-archimedean absolute value, let A/KA/K be a semiabelian variety, and let XAX \subset A be a closed subvariety. Tate–Voloch conjecture. There exists c>0c > 0 such that for every torsion point PA(K)P \in A(K), either PXP \in X or d(P,X)cd(P,X) \ge c. This conjecture predicts a uniform non-archimedean separation of torsion points from closed subvarieties when they do not lie on the subvariety; the supplied text attributes it to Tate and Voloch but gives no resolution status.
