Another Arrest in Tibet

January 7, 2015;

23-year-old Topgyal, a native of Thragtse Township in Dhingri County, Shigatse Prefecture of the Tibetan Autonomous Region, has been arrested in Lhasa and his whereabouts are not known. It is believed his arrest was for providing news and information to “separatists” through his writings. His brother Tsewang Dhonden was arrested last year, allegedly for enrolling joining the Tibetan Youth Congress, which China calls a “terrorist organisation”.
