Sonam Palden, 22, a Tibetan monk from Kirti Monastery in Ngaba, was detained on September 19 after posting comments critical of Chinese rule on WeChat. There has been no news of his whereabouts, or of whether he has been charged, since. His friend said Sonam’s posts expressed his concerns over Beijing’s policies, saying they are causing the eradication of the Tibetan language.
