Three Tibetans were arrested on January 18 in Pema County in Tibet’s Golok region for their alleged connection with a self-immolation protest by Tsering, a 20 year old Tibetan monk in November last year at Akyong Monastery. The three arrested were Gelek, Akyong Monastery’s disciplinarian, his younger brother Lhakyab and another Tibetan named Tsekyap.
