Description of event

County government and security officials arrived at Zurmang on July 12 ; assembled the monks ; and told them they would be required to attend “legal education” classes because monks allegedly had refused to take part in July 1 celebrations of the 90th anniversary of establishment of the Chinese Communist Party. “Many” monks walked out of the meeting ; TCHRD said. Police allegedly detained eight monks and took them to the Nangchen PSB Detention Center: Karma Samten ; Jigtag ; Sherab ; Gaya Tashi ; Ugyen Samten ; Karma Soepa ; Karma Monlam ; and Dosa. Belongs to Zurmang Monastery
