5 Tibetans disappear

By Contact Staff /  December 20, 2012;

Five monks from the Bora monastery in Sangchu, Gansu Province, have been missing since Dec 3 when Chinese police took them from the monastery. The incident occurred a day after Bora monk Sungdu Kyap self-immolated. 200 police were deployed to carry out a severe clampdown on local Tibetan residents and monks, including an information blackout and cutting off communication services.
