Namgyal Kyab and Bende Khar, two Tibetans from the Nyinpa division of Chayphu nomadic village in Chone County, were severely beaten and then arrested. They were questioning the authorities’ decision to block a public road used by Tibetan nomads in the area. Their whereabouts are not known. Chone County is where 36 year old Sangay Tso died in May as a result of her self-immolation protest.
