Description of event

Topden and other Tibetans began a prayer service related to the death of his uncle ; Juchen Thubten Namgyal ; who had held a number of prominent positions in the Tibetan government-in-exile and parliament-in-exile in the 1970s and 1980s. Authorities accused Tobden of being the “lead organizer” of the prayer service ; according to a member of the parliament-in-exile who cited sources in Tibet.
