Three Tibetans; Bumchok, a 16-year boy, and two women, Choedon, 16, and Yangchen, 27, were detained on suspicion of burning the Chinese flag in Driru County. The situation in Driru has now gone “from bad to worse,” a source said. “Tibetans as young as 10 or 12 are now being detained and beaten in attempts to force them to confess to anti-state activities.”
