Karmey, 22, a Tibetan living in Takthak Township in Dharlak County, Golog, was beaten to death by Chinese authorities while in detention. He, along with a dozen others, was arrested following a clash over elections for local office on December 7 when Tibetans voted for a candidate named Tashi instead of the candidate favoured by the authorities. A source said Karmey was brutally beaten in detention, and died next day in hospital.
