Lobsang Tsering, a young monk in his 20’s from Kirti monastery in Ngaba county, Tibet staged a solo protest carrying a portrait of HH the Dalai Lama. He was seen marching along the main street of Ngaba calling for His Holiness’ long life and freedom for Tibet. He was immediately arrested by Chinese police and his current whereabouts is unknown.
