Gomar Choephel, the monk arrested last month, has been traced to Dragmer Detention Centre in Rebkong County in Tibet. Choephel, a monk at Rongwo monastery, comes from the village of Gomar. His family had no knowledge of his whereabouts after his arrest, and no reason had been given for the arrest, although it is understood he was suspected of sharing a picture of the Dalai Lama on his phone.
