The Chinese authorities in Keygudo [Ch: Yushu] in eastern Tibet arrested Tsetan, a resident of Ditoe County in Keygudo, last month. In the month since his detention in Yushu’s Trindhu city, no information has been released of his whereabouts, the reasons for neither his arrest nor the state of his health, reports Voice of Tibet (VOT).
VOT has learned from their source that Chinese police are carrying out arbitrary detentions, citing various reasons for these arrests and that Tsetan’s arrest is one such case. While returning from Chumarleb County after meeting his family and relatives, he was arrested by Trindhu city police without any reason given. Since his arrest his family has been continuously asking the police for information as to his whereabouts and any updates on his condition, but the police have given them no answers.
Similar cases of arbitrary detentions in other parts of the Tibet have been reported. Tibet Watch, the United Kingdom based Tibet advocacy group, has released a report of the arrest of five Tibetans from Serta County in Kham Kardze last month for carrying out religious activities, one of whom has died in detention after undergoing excessive beating and torture. On September 14, a Tibetan man called Rinchen Dhondup and seven others from different parts of Tibet including Nagchu, Lhasa and Chumarleb, were arrested for posting and sharing Covid-19 related photos and videos.
