China arrests Tibetan writer in Ngaba
(TCHRD) A Tibetan monk was arrested in early April for alleged anti-government writings, according TCHRD. Dokru Tsultrim, who recently wrote two articles critical of the Chinese government, was picked up by security forces from his room at Gomang monastery, Ngaba county (Chin: Aba), Ngaba TAP, Sichuan province. He was accused of writing two articles that criticised the Chinese government and supported the "separatist forces of the Dalai Lama". His privately managed publication of the Tibetan journal 'Khawai Tsesok' has also ceased and there has been no information on his current whereabouts since his detention.
