Two abbots from Nangchen County in Tibet’s Kham region: Shabgon Monastery’s Khenpo Kartse and Tana Monastery’s Khenpo Gyurmey Tsultrim, were released after thousands of Tibetans appealed to the authorities. The two abbots were arrested on December 6 and November 29 respectively.  Khenpo Tsultrim was arrested for speaking about the preservation of Tibetan Buddhism and culture and was condemned to attend “thought education” sessions.
