More Arrests

By Contact Staff /  February 28, 2013;

Chinese police in eastern Tibet have arrested five more Tibetans, Dhargey, Samten, Tashi Gyatso, Tenpei Gyalpo, and Tensang, for the alleged roles in convincing three people to set themselves on fire.
Chinese state news agency Xinhua said that one of them “acted under the instructions” of members of the TYC. The five arrested have been blamed for “recruiting and encouraging” the self-immolation protests of Dorjee Rinchen, Thubwang Kyab, and Gonpo Tsering. The TYC has denied the allegations.
