Rinchen Dhargay, 41, a father of three, was arrested last Tuesday in Kardze County, eastern Tibet. It is alleged that he was among a crowd who prevented authorities from seizing the body of monk Tsewang Norbu who died after a self-immolation protest on 15 August, 2011, and that he preserved the body before the post-death rituals. Rinchen has not been heard of since his arrest.
