Jampa Choegyal, 30, was taken into custody during the Tsechok festival at Chuwar monastery Dragyab county in Chamdo last month. He was held for two days on suspicion of “maintaining contacts outside of the region” for questioning about his relative Ngawang Jampa, who is now in Australia after fleeing Tibet, and told not to contact him.
