Khedrup, a monk in his 50s who is also a traditional medicine doctor, has been rearrested in Mura town in Gansu’s Machu county in the Kanlho Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Khedrup was originally detained for sending videos of the self-immolation protest by Tashi Rabten to the international media in December last year. He was beaten and tortured in detention before being released in January.
