Gendun Drakpa, 39, a Tibetan monk working in Thangkor Socktsang monastery in Ngaba prefecture’s Dzoege County, disappeared after his arrest on August 24. The monastery was informed by Chinese police that he was in detention and no further details were provided. His friends believe that Drakpa views news programmes broadcast from outside Tibet and that this might have led to his detention.
