Thubten Pema Lhundrub, a recent graduate, who was detained by Chinese police in May after praying to the Dalai Lama has not been heard of since, and his family are now appealing for help in calling attention to his case. Radio Free Asia quotes a local source as saying that Lhundrub’ parents “are worried that something may have happened to him […] they are beginning to doubt that he is still alive”.
