Lobsang Choejor, a senior Tibetan monk from the Drongsar Monastery in Chamdo region’s Pashoe County has been arrested for allegedly disseminating information to exile “separatist forces”. Lobsang has denied owning a cellphone but the authorities ransacked his quarters looking for one which, they claim, he used to share teachings and talks by the Dalai Lama. It is not known if they found one but a source has said the police had kept Lobsang under surveillance for some time.
